It is always a thrill to capture the rays of sunlight when they penetrate the forest, as we see in this image. I found this information about "How To Capture Magical Sun Rays" - by Ellen Borggreve https://www.ellenborggreve.com/.../how-to-capture-magical...):

"Aug 27, 2018 — The best times to capture sun rays is when the trees have leaves, or in a pine forest in the winter. There needs to be something that scatters the sunlight (in a sky you can only see sun rays if they are scattered by clouds). You can only see the sunbeams in one direction, more or less towards the sun."
