Fusaki Beach is a popular beach located behind Fusaki Resort Village, on the southwest coast of Ishigaki Island (Ishigaki-jima), Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. *** Anticrepuscular rays, or antisolar rays, are meteorological optical phenomena similar to crepuscular rays, but appear opposite of the Sun in the sky. Anticrepuscular rays are essentially parallel, but appear to converge toward the antisolar point, the vanishing point, due to a visual illusion from linear perspective. *** Description partially sourced from Wikipedia (2019).
