A sight to see

Just have to share this picture I took over looking Old Tampa Bay (looking east toward Tampa). The thing is I can’t explain how this is happening, maybe one of you can. 

This photo is looking east while the sun is setting in the west. I’ve seen similar rays when the sun is setting or when the sun is rising, but never over the opposite horizon. I really looked at this, in amazement, over a period of probably 10 minutes before I took the picture. It originally had multiple bands, this picture just has one, but as the sun set the colors became more vibrant and I had to take the photo. 

It really was beutiful.
