    Second and better thought: inside the 22 degrees halo it must be a corona like the title of the picture states. The only thing that puzzles me is that the corona is so large. The smaller the water droplets that cause the corona the larger the corona. That’s for sure, but I did not found information yet about a corona this size. The beauty of it is unmatched I think.

    Thanks for sharing George. Can’t believe my eyes seeing this halo exposure. I recognize a number of halos but what I see within the 22 degrees halo is a puzzle to me. There are several options with halos due to pyramidical crystals (so called odd halos) but the ones on the picture are exuberantly colorful.  Love it indeed!

    Thank you George for your explanation. I now remember what Gavin wrote about it. I did some search on the subject and what I found is that attempts to use it are not successful while there also are considerable concerns about environmental damage.

    Very applicable for the 14th of February Keelin. Somehow there should be a category for Clouds-That-Look-Like-A-Heart.

    Here is a color impression of the prevailing weather over here. Some heartwarming is very welcome.

    Wow, great B&W’s by you two Keelin and Michael. I keep coming back to Frenetic Fete by Keelin and your last one is very intriguing Michael. There is this dog’s head in it. I don’t know which way to go anymore….

    Here is an impression of the weather over here that already lasts for some weeks and is here to stay for some more time. Anyway nice skies…..

    Thanks for sharing this wonderful story George. I know more attempts have been done to manipulate the weather by seeding but I don’t know about any positive result – under acceptable conditions – until now. Who might know more about this?

    Hello Steven, I think I found another example of your beautiful clouds:

    You captured a host of unique characters in your last posts Keelin. “Always room for a dragon” is very funny and made me giggle too.

    As to your little creature jumping out of the water: might it be a little salamander on the run jump for some predator that is behind him, still under the surface?

    I did not encounter much look-alikes lately but I will keep my eye open to spot our mutual friends.

    Very nice Donatella and Saulius. Great sunsets in Seattle and Lithuania as well.

    Usually we like to end a thread with 100 posts and then start a new Volume in the case it is a thread for a permanent theme like Sunsets and Sunrises are. Also Contrail, Black and White, Color and Optical Phenomena have a permanent thread of which Black and Whites already has a Volume XIV, so already between 1300 and 1400 posts of magnificent B&W’s. Check them!

    Great to have you on board with contributions from such different places like Seattle and Lithuania, so I hope to see more from you on Sunsets and Sunrises Volume V Michael already started.

    Yes Michael, let’s go to another hundre. You made a good a start for Volume 3 already.

    From an older series….

    You spotted them really close Donatella. My favorite is the first one crossing an older and higher trail. Great contrast.

    Nice Half Moon Adagio Keelin. Objections to a bit crescendo next?

    Love your last one Michael: Great cloud sculpture with lacunosus and a hint of asperitas as well (I think).
