Crepuscular sun rays illuminate the ground

Crepuscular rays occur when the sun is near the horizon, and rays peek through gaps in the clouds and illuminate dust in the otherwise-dark air. Normally, one sees them when looking toward the sun, and the rays seem to emerge from the sun and spread out across the sky. Here, the camera is looking away from the sun, and the rays seem to emerge from wide locations in the sky and merge to one point. Thus, technically, they are anti-crepuscular rays.
