Zodiacal Light Pyramid Glows Over Cali Horizon

A faint, pale pyramid of light rises vertically from the orange horizon, glowing softly against the deepening twilight. The sky above is perfectly clear, devoid of clouds, allowing the subtle column to stand out against the darkening blue. Below, a calm body of water mirrors the celestial column and the warm sunset hues exactly, creating a symmetrical visual where the pyramid appears to float between two skies. The turn of the season is visible in the cool, crisp air suggested by the clarity of the atmosphere and the sharp definition of the light column. The orange low-angle light from the setting sun bathes the horizon line, transitioning into the cool tones of the night sky. The reflection in the water is so precise that the boundary between the sky and its mirror image becomes an indistinguishable seam of light.
