Sunbeams pierce through dark, dense clouds, creating a dramatic display of light and shadow. The rays fan out from a central point, illuminating parts of the sky with a warm, golden glow while contrasting with the surrounding darker cloud areas. This phenomenon, often called "crepuscular rays," occurs when sunlight breaks through gaps in the clouds, scattering in the atmosphere. The clouds exhibit varying shades of gray, adding depth and texture to the scene.
