Hello Michael, you inspire me with this undulating asperitas to B&W (as a verb) more candidates. Aspiritas loves B&W, that’s for sure. I experimented with some pictures of crepescular rays and it turns out to be really fun. I am surprised ever again what B&W can do with some extra contrast.
Here is a view on a pond with some reed.
Anyone else who wants to jump in?
I am glad you like the picture George.
What you see is a sundog, right from the sun at 22 degrees. The peculiar distribution of the reflecting cirrus gives it the electric feel.
You must be the very first one to have observed a negative of a horse shoe (vortex). Isabel. Congratulations.
Very nice.
Haha, I love these minions! Very gentle.
For the next one I did not have a metaphor yet, but now I want to recognize the physiognomy of Scarlet Overkill the minions are looking for.
Beautiful mountain to climb bare footed Michael.
Reading about contrail in anther thread I think the next one will be appropriate. I took this picture just a few days ago. The contrail was dissipating rather fast and it also formed some von Karman vortex like patterns before disappearing.
Barbed wire
Contrails, I see a lot of them living in the neighborhood of an airport. Indeed sometimes difficult to separate from cirrus. Here is one on fire (no photoshopping).
My apologies. After I wrote my former answer I suddenly became aware that I must be terribly wrong. Lesson one for me: think twice (oops).
When you look the sun in the face you can see the kind of halos I mentioned and of which I gave an example. When the sun is behind you I can’t tell what you saw.
Google didn’t help so far. I found one example of an antisolar arc, but no tunnel-like phenomenon.
Nevertheless it is a fantastic story Alun wrote. I end with the same question Alun put forward: who knows what it was?
What a beautiful story Alun. Especially ze french part of it!
Did he really belief it was an angel? I do belief “zis ange lead many to zair det” when you are skiing and enchanted by the sight, but the explanation is a materialistic one nevertheless as beautiful as such.
Apparently there was a lot of diamond dust in the air, That are tiny ice crystals that can form in the air naturally under the right (cold) conditions (like clouds do) or artificially by snow cannons. The sun was behind you and you saw maybe several kind of ice halos. It must have been a spectacular view, I wish I had seen this.
In the next link you find another example together with a good explanation of the phenomenon;
On this site you will find a lot more information about all kinds of halos and optical phenomena. I can recommend it. Have fun with it.
