      Two pictures, one “as is”, the other enhanced to intensify the colors and reduce the light. I can see three rings of red: one complete just around the sun, a second almost complete and a third incomplete, just an arc at the top. I observed this last weekend and took shots with my iphone. I regret not taking the time to take some better pictures IMG-4133with my SLR.

      I had trouble uploading, that’s why they came as two posts,

      Question: is it possible to upload more than one picture in one submission?

      That Saharan dust perhaps? I did notice something dusty on my car and garbage bins today.

      Hygge, not sure if you’re joking, I don’t think it was Saharan dust. That would have had the opposite effect, making things dull. And I am in NY, not in the way of the westerlies that would carry that dust. Here, like in much of western Europe the flow is from the west.

      Ignoring the optical effect, look at those clouds. I guess that’s what you call makerel sky?

      I would not disagree, George. The new ICA does not recognise mackerel. Undulatus.
