Note: This is NOT a photo-manipulation!

Here's an explanation [link] of this stunning formation. It is called Anti-Crepuscular Rays.

I've only ever seen a pink band across the horizon at twilight, but this afternoon's display blew my breath away. The unusual formation in the sky, really captivating me as I took this photo. It felt like a scene from some kind of alien movie, as the creatures from another world land on Earth.

ARGH. I wish I had know about this when I was making this. I would have asked to use these rocks for reference. Alas, live and learn. Very nice photo.
