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

Reply To: Black & White Cloud Photos VolXXI

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 […]

December 2022

When you wake on a clear, freezing morning to sparkles in the sunlight and a host of bright arcs, rings and spots in the sky, you can thank the subtle ice fog known as diamond dust. This glittering morning mist plays the starring role in Cloud of the Month for December…

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

Optical Phenomena Volume VI

Volume V ended with a link to the website of Ariel with some beautiful halos and a last rainbow by Duncan. Just check them befor diving into the next Volume. A fresh start with a split up sundog peeping through the clouds. Sundog

Reply To: Contrail Thread Volume VI

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 […]

Reply To: Contrail Thread Volume VI

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 […]

Reply To: (( halos ))

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?

Reply To: Contrail Thread Volume VI

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 […]
