The visual phenomenon is created by the reflection of light from ice crystals in the atmosphere. Local photographer Jay Callaghan is a night owl, and took these beautiful pics below around 1:45 a.m. in the Parkhill Rd West area looking towards Lake Chemong, in Peterborough, Ontario.

"Once the clouds rolled in the pillars disappeared, so I was at the right place at the right time," Jay tells PTBO Canada.
