Sunbeams that look like a fan are actually parallel

Crepuscular rays form when clouds or other particles block parts of low sunlight while nearby light is scattered through the air. The beams travel nearly parallel, but perspective makes them seem to spread from one point.

They look like a paper fan, but the bright lanes are traveling side by side.
