Anti-crepuscular rays can sometimes be viewed when looking opposite of the setting sun, as they appear when tall clouds in front of the rising or setting sun cast long shadows across the sky, which can be seen receding off into the distance when facing away from the Sun. This classic example was spotted over Scottsbluff, Nebraska, US.

Well said, Rebecca! Fully agree.
Laurence.
The dramatic, distant mountains of Southern Bavaria in the early morning light all appear as a monochrome blue colour, are all bunched together and appear to float above the low stratus clouds. Looks like it is going to be a really nice, clear day. Can just make out on the distant horizon, a few snow-capped mountains as well.
Nice picture.
