Cloud Appreciation Society member Jay Brazzell recently entered this sun halo photograph to a National Geographic photography contest and it has made it through the preliminaries to their website.

Jay says of his photograph “A temperature inversion was the cause of a spectacular sun halo display over Silvercreek/Granby Colorado. When a morning temperature of -27 and a heavy ground fog mingled the result was what started as crystalized water vapor (Diamond Dust) and became a wonderful sun halo followed by a double sun halo.”
