      A member of my astronomy club took this picture wondering if that’s anticrepuscular rays. It looks to me like it is one wide ray. Would be great if anyone could confirm or deny. (The picture is uploaded with permission from the photographer.)

      From the picture, and based primarily on the reflections on the buildings, it appears that the sun is behind the photo taker (i.e. the picture looks east). Is that correct?

      Looks like the sun is behind the camera.  Bright streak is narrower towards the horizon.  Probably an anti crepuscular ray.

      It does seem to appear as an anti crepuscular ray. It has dark outlines and a relatively straight path down to the ground with the sun setting behind the camera. Nice shot!
