Views of a sunbow over Valentino Pier last Friday, just ahead of this weekend’s arctic freeze. Barely edited — I didn’t think I could really improve on this magical light.

A view from a pier overlooking the waters of a wide bay. A halo of pale light arcs high over the setting sun as it shines over a strip of dark clouds. Below, golden crepuscular rays fan out in a luminous band before being obscured by more gray clouds at the horizon. Directly beneath the sun, a column of sunlight sparkles on the water. In the foreground are guardrails flanking the pier’s snow-covered walkway as it recedes to some lampposts at right frame.
Another view of the sunbow over the pier. The strip of gray clouds obscures the sun itself, without diminishing the halo above or the crepuscular rays below — a strikingly dramatic effect. Directly below the sun is the silhouette of a wooden pillar rising out of the bay, surrounded by the glow of the sun sparkles on the water.
A third view of the sunbow over the pier, with the sun hidden behind the head of a lamppost as the halo arcs overhead. Sunlight glows around the lamp head as the lamppost’s lower half is framed by sun sparkles on the water. To the left is a wooden pillar in the bay; to the right is the pier’s snow-covered walkway, with a bench facing the water and the far shore.
Last in a series of views of a sunbow over a wide bay. A strip of clouds obscures the sun without dimming the arc of the halo above or the crepuscular rays below. In the foreground is a section of a park, with clumps of plants poking out of the snow-crusted ground. At left and right respectively, a low warehouse and a snow-covered pier push out into the water.
