Brocken Spectre, a unique and rare form of a Glory, capped off an overall spectacular evening of cloud spotting for Allison, as this optical phenomena showcases the delicate interplay between light, mist, and atmospheric particles.

Brocken Spectre, a unique form of a Glory, is when the rings appear around your own shadow as you look at a cloud or look through fog/mist from a mountain ridge. This classic example was viewed from the top of Kosutica, Slovenia.
