Yes, I agree - it looks like the shadow from the clouds. Peter, do you see them often from the air?

I did not think these were crepuscular rays because they showed as darker bands in the sky rather than lighter rays shining through the gaps in the clouds. Showing the crescent Suns through a lattice to my daughters made me think maybe that was a 'pinhole" effect through the clouds that we were seeing but wasn't sure.

Cheers,
Alex
