Photographer’s Note
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning-the first day.
His job was not done so that we could take hostages and kill our children.
In memory of the children in Beslan

It's like a power from the sky want to show us something on the earth using raylights as giant fingers for that

L'ensemble donne un superbe effet. Bien vu d'avoir laissé sur la gauche les deux silhouettes d'abres ... vers lesquelles semble se diriger les rayons du soleil.
Belle composition.

Thank you for this powerful combination of image & words Jack!! The capture with the light streaming out of the clouds and the subdued colours is great & strangely atmospheric ...and very fitting. Very fine work.

Very good rendition of the "light beam" effect coming through the clouds, and illuminating the beautiful countryside. The dedication in your note makes this a very poignant one, thanks Jack.

A powerful image, Jack, and a strong message.
I take comfort from your image, in the hope that it is not just beams of light coming down, but souls rising.

Very impressive sight and strange colours. I like how the rays of sun are breaking through. It does seem like the beginning of earth (nice original note).

Un ciel comme celui-ci, il fallait impérativement le photographier !
Une réussite totale, un véritable régal pour les yeux.
Excellent Jack.
A sky as this one, it was necessarily necessary to photograph him !
A total success, a real delight for eyes.
Excellent Jack.

Wonderful shot. The strong contrast nicely brings on the dramatic sun rays. The dark tones creates such a nice, dark mood. The shot somehow reminds of science fiction movies...
