The rays are beautiful. The names comes from the Latin “crepusculum” meaning twilight. They should be called “spectacular rays”. Much easier said, and Latin is dead. Reply
I’m no linguist but who uses it daily or regularly? I speak fluid Midwest with maybe a small twist. ☺️ Reply
Other colloquial names for them I’ve heard are “God rays” or “Jesus beams”, the latter from over in the U.K.. Reply
Yes… but only if one is writing poetry. Your pictures often are there with her poetry… not a competition…. but an eventide. Reply
Such a fancy name, they are beautiful. 😊
