Hi Shane
I think you will be interested to see this photo, released today (8th February) on the NASA APOD page showing remarkable and magical Light Pillars over Alaska.

I am not at all sure looking at this photo whether the pillars of light are something to do with camera lens flare or maybe just ground fog?
Whatever – if the vertical light beams are what are called light pillars then a description and photo of this oddity may be seen at the NASA APOD page on a photo taken in Finland on 18 December 2013:-
