Sunrises in Fuengirola are magical, linked to the Mediterranean Sea and in communion with the sun and its light, as this series of photographs in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia demonstrate.
A light pillar is an atmospheric optical phenomenon in which a vertical beam of light appears to extend above and/or below a light source.
The effect is created by the reflection of light from small ice crystals that are suspended in the atmosphere or comprise high-altitude clouds (for example, cirrostratus or cirrus clouds).
If the light comes from the sun (usually when it is near or even below the horizon), the phenomenon is called a solar pillar, as in this case in Fuengirola.
Even with the perspective and with the optical effect, it seems that we can catch the solar pillar that is drawn in the sky with our hand.
The morning dawns so calm and with haze, that nothing better to relax than reading a book while from the breakwater of the T of this town in Malaga.
In the image, the sun seems to want to be part of the story of the book, since the beautiful dawn cannot be described even with all the words of all the languages of the world.
In this case, dawn is also marked by the candilazo, a meteorological phenomenon in which the clouds in the sky show a wide palette of colors that goes from pink to the most intense orange.
As part of the phenomenon of scattering of sunlight, in the morning and afternoon hours, when the sun is closest to the horizon, the light that reaches Earth is soft tones between red and orange.
In a certain way, when this light passes through the clouds, it illuminates them and it could be said that it colors them with those hues.
The candilazo is also known as arrebol, which is the red color that is seen in the clouds illuminated by the sun's rays, especially at dawn and at sunset.
