convergence



I've witnessed this phenomenon once before in my life.  I have yet to find a name for it, but there should really be one.  It happens at sunrise or sunset when the sun is really low on the horizon.  A low cloud can cast a shadow that, due to perspective, converges on the opposite horizon.  Very cool to see.

If it's unclear in this picture, the sun is actually setting behind me.
