Crepuscular rays light up the Shenandoah Valley at sunset on a spring evening from the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia.

How I Got This Shot: Seeing light rays shoot down through the clouds about an hour from sunset, I quickly headed up to the Parkway, headed toward the brightening sky. The rays burst through the clouds and I quickly shot the scene. It lasted about 2 minutes before the sun moved back behind the clouds.
