| Name | Kevin V |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | So strange, quiet, long, and many things. When we were looking at it from behind, it was beautiful! 5 trails from 1 originating point. Still think it's weird that it had a beam-like light shining on a cloud. I have other photos with different lighting, but I only got to share one. |
