A real sight to see, Patrick! Feel like being hipnotised by this rainbow corona picture showing up against a band of mid-level Altocumulus, which looks like misty, thin, high steam or smoke in the air. Best not to look at it for too long without sunglasses!
From Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia
What a sight!! This looks like thick pollen making such colorful rings. Hope that this made the evening news. Great shot and surely appreciated.
