PHOTO OF THE DAY: Wonder in the sky

This is the sight that greeted many people in Roseau and  environs (probably the entire west coast) on Thursday morning. What caused this phenomenon is unknown since the sun had not yet risen over the mountains from the east coast.

    At first I thought it was a chemtrail which is the deliberate release of some sort of chemical by a jet transport plane. this is a secret project by an unknown group. However after looking at it again, the lines look more like a natural phenomenon. I don’t believe it is anything to worry about.

    If what I have read, then THIS isn’t cause by the SUN, for in the Picture, it appears that the Photographer is looking WEST to the Sea, and the article specifically said the SUN had not risen from the EAST over the mountains yet. I would have agreed that it would have been the SUN if it was evening and the sun setting in the WEST. THIS is truly Unusual.

    This is a beautiful, extraordinary sight. Those who saw it are fortunate. Such a sight makes us stop and think and temporarily forget our burdens. God arranges all things and ordains all to be.
    The wonders of God, showing Dominicans another godly sight. He says, “I am in control. I am here. I am with you. I have not forgotten you and will never forget you.” Reminding Dominicans that all is well and for those who despair, all will be well. Praise be to God!

    They are crepuscular rays. Common at sunrise and sunset.

      Thank you.

      Yes it is God’s work of art, but that’s coming from the sun even it had not yet shown its face. These are rays of light forming a spectrum in the sky.
