crepuscular rays

We caught this awesome sight in New Plymouth tonight. I figured there had to be a name for the rays and I found that they are called crepuscular rays.

    Crepuscular rays . Well I learned something new today. They remind me of those 'Holy Cards' we got in Catholic grade school when we were good (a hundred years ago). The Saints always had these rays of light surrounding them. They looked just like that. Hmmm. Maybe it wasn't a miracle after all.

    What cool rays - I've always called them "the fingers of God." for some reason.

    Pretty neat - something I have not seen - are they only in your part of the world?

    @John, no, I have seen them in the States, too, but I never knew what they were called.
