This is probably one of the most beautiful atmosphere phenomena. Light pillars can be observed in cities with many different colorful light sources. The main requirements needed for light pillars to appear are low temperature (at least 20 C below zero), wind absence and a big number of ice crystals in the atmosphere. Ice crystals should be plate shaped. They float in the air close to the ground reflecting light back downwards. The whole scene looks beautiful and fantastic.
