Incredibly beautiful light pillars! A light pillar is an atmospheric optical phenomenon in which a vertical beam of light appears to extend above and/or below a light source. The effect is created by the reflection of light from tiny ice crystals that are suspended in the atmosphere or that comprise high-altitude clouds.
These lights tend to take on the color of the light source. "They appear as beams of light to the observer. It is usually caused by street lights.
