Glories March 4, 2018

I grew up in a devoutly Methodist household, and we had paintings of Our Lord which often featured the suggestion of God’s presence through rays of light streaming through clouds. In fact, I don’t usually see these rays which I call Glories all that often; apparently the particles necessary for such diffraction are rare enough that glories don’t come standard with every sunset.
Then, too, when I see them I don’t have a nice camera with me…just my cell phone. The current default camera app in Android 6.0.1 does not feature exposure control, making it very difficult to catch the rays (usually sunsets present as a bright band of yellow in my camera). Thankfully, the Google Play store offers other camera apps, such as CameraZOOM. I have been able to finally capture a good enough sample to share (cropped in The GIMP):
