Seen during sunset over Lake Winnipeg near Victoria Beach, Manitoba, a single, majestic beam of light stretches straight up into the sky creating the visual phenomenon called a “sun pillar.”
A sun pillar is created by sunlight bouncing off free-floating ice crystals in the atmosphere. These free-floating crystals, however, must be arranged in a similar orientation and be slightly tipped toward the viewer in order for the sun pillar to form.

Lila Watson
You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it.
You say you love sun, but you seek shade when its shining.
You say you love wind, but when its comes you close your window.
So that's why I'm scared, when you say you love me.
