There is a neat photo at spaceweather.com today. I think they have archives so if you see this later you can probably find it on this date.
Lower sun pillar. I've photographed a few sun pillar but never one that went down.
And the Geminid meteor shower is approaching Dec. 13-14. Pick a good background for this event and if you get a good shot, submit it to spaceweather.com
And the auroral oval has reached central Kansas so if there is a significant sun magnetic eruption we might get a show. See the map at the same site.

I googled the shower and one site http://spacefellowship.com/2009/12/08/the-2009-geminid-meteor-shower/ says that the peak is around 11:00pm central time on the 14th. I like the picture on the header of this website.
Now let's hope for clear skys! Good find fisch! It's nice to have a heads up for something like this.
