A rare sight in Malta

Description

While I was capturing this photo, I saw some bright lines above the horizon which captured my attention. They looked somewhat familiar yet I couldn't really register what they were.

After doing the maths, I understood what they were. They are called anti crepuscular rays, which are VERY RARE! I came to this conclusion because this was shot with my back nearly to the sun, and such rays appear directly opposite the sun. In Malta, I don't recall ever seeing them. Most probably, the heavy morning rain cleared the glare that usually covers the island's skyline and it made such a rare view possible.

Talk about the joys of landscape photography... :)
