Yes indeed Keelin, my sundog would have loved to chase your multicolored squirrel. Love it. It is a great Iridescent ‘Do you spotted. My pareidolic me sees a mask of light with a colored hairdress. Ruth I love your lenticulars with the colored fringes just as the rainbow rockettes have by Ariel. Ariel, what a […]

exciting return of the halo, Ruth. Every halo day is a holiday! I had an action packed “haloday” on Friday. First a lovely circumscribed and then a vivid CZA

ruth, your moonglow mesmerizes. i’d guess this was the top of a circumscribed halo/upper tangent arc

I am uncertain about this capture.  I will take a stab at a partial 22 degree halo.  Any thoughts from my cloud spotter buddies? Half A Slice

Arielko,  you truly have me laughing with your rockettes dancing in the sky.  Wonderful halos too. The Glow Of A Moon

Hi Hans, My brother, Chip Stone, was skiing with his friend John.  John took this picture and my brother took the image seen in the Gallery.  And I mixed up the actual town the ski area is in (Sugarbush has a Warren address, though one drives through Waitsfield to get there). Thank you for your […]

Hello Ann, This is an amazing image. Is it right that it shows the same event as the image on the gallery by Chip Stone? Gallery Yes I think we see a supralateral arc here (among many others). On the gallery it is classified as a 46 degrees halo. Always difficult to distinguish, but a rule […]

Ruth, More Black Than White was a great surprise! It left such an impression that it inspired a dream similar to your photo. And then the clouds sailed away to reveal a pulsing moon halo of radiant iridescence. Thank you for that dream seed. And Michael, thank you for kind words above. Your latest is […]

Ariel, I agree with Hans near the wrap up of Volume V. What a beautiful collection you’ve gathered! Duncan, that was a double dose of fun to end with. And Hans, what a fabulous start to Volume VI! That peep is more than promising. Autumn Halo

Something odd with tis thread. I just tried to upload a picture first. That worked well but editing does not make appear the lowest part of the box. The text about the order of the three pictures by Kathleen seems to be a bit of a problem for the system. Anyway…. Kathleen, I scrolled a […]

Thanks Duncan. A nice golden Phoenix. It reminds me of an old one on the gallery: Phoenix with one wing on fire yet The description on the gallery is not correct by the way. It says it shows a circumhorzon arc, but that was impossible at the time of year I took it. It was […]

Ariel I read about your seven years of sky on your website and I must say it makes a really deep impression on me. You still managed to collect a lot of wonderful cloud stories and silver linings as you like to name them. I admire you having been able to collect them over so […]

I thought you was already sure about the circumscribed arc Ariel. No doubt about that one too imo. On your last image the circumscribed halo is quite clear together with the 22 degrees halo. Both are crossed by the parhelic circle. Love it.

keelin, looks like we should bring some dogs over from the other thread to lap up that last drop of butter! I had a banner day in September. Sun rose in halo, the long arms of the Parhelic circle began to form around the now circumscribed halo at noon, and by sunset we had a […]

The above photo was taken 10/3 at 4:43p in Haverhill, MA.  Initially I thought I had one contrail but realized there were three.  Also it wasn’t until I was looking at the photo later that I noticed the halo around the sun.  The sky driving north tonight had very odd colors to it amidst the […]

also some beautiful parhelic circle bits with circumscribed halo ♥️

what a display yesterday! am still reeling with delight. I have two questions. Is this a 46° halo or a supralateral arc? and above the upper tangent arc (my first of this shape!), is that faint down-curving line a Parry arc or a 23° upper pyramidal arc?

Kathy, you did it!!  Love all of your shots.  #3 feels like there is a fine piece of paper over your halo.  All exciting.  Hope to see more photos.  Ruth

The order of my pictures above were rearranged.  The middle one is the first one I took.  The top one is of the plane cutting through the halo of the sun.  The last picture is of the contrail dissolving.  I am not sure if in the middle picture that is a contrail at the top […]

Great halo Ramona, indeed with KH bottom left. And Ariel, in my opinion you have spotted KH as well. Always fun to spot these waves!

It’s okay with me for you to jump in!!  I have seen KH clouds many times, plus many questionables, such as I posted here.  It can be difficult to know for certain so much of the time!  This is one of my favorite photos of KH clouds, but you have to look carefully for them. […]
