Fast changing weather conditions also trigger optical phenomena as the sun interacts with ice chrystals in the atmosphere (high clouds).
In this section I show my most recent picures from most common halo's, sundogs and rainbow.
On august 3, 2015 I could make the the picture below. After modification using CS4 the picture shows different phenomena. From top to bottom :
Circumzenital Arc
"attached" Supralateral Arc
Pary Arc and Tangent Arc
22° Halo Arc
On the right/low end a sundog
Modiefied Using CS4 B/W What do you see ... in theory |
The above is not my picture but it shows what is seen!
The picture below shows on top a part of 22° Halo taken on August 2, 2015
Above the bright rainbow it's hard to see but there is a faint second rainbow, July 27, 2015
Beautiful sunset with left and right hand sundogs. On the right most probably a piece of the parhelic circle. Picture taken August 2, 2015
