My area had light pillars the other week, I posted this in a different subreddit and was told it might be enjoyed here. I've never seen anything like it before 🙂

Photo is a couple days old. Travelled out for a job overnight and spotted these while walking around the facility! Super surreal to see. Pillars have been on my bucketlist for a while yet.

Pillar I've been told these are ice crystals forming these light pillars. What causes those flashes?
