Beautiful photo, but boy! ….. does’nt that look COLD!
Never seen even a picture of this before – wonderful image! And Ian – thanks for the link.
Beautiful, incredible phenomena and with two deer at the same time! Excellent composition – great picture!
PS, website administrator: as you can see by my inadvertent ‘anonymous’ submission and the one by Andrew Kirk, the submission guidelines are unclear!
The difference between a subsun and sundog seems to be a technicality. Optically, both are ‘subsuns,’ and metaphorically, both are ‘sundogs.’ At least that’s what I’ll tell myself, since I’ve named this one “The Dancing Sundog”! (See the video by that name on Youtube.) And yes–the vegetation is mullein and the animals are two mule deer.

Thanks very much indeed for the link you kindly provided in relation to the photo portrayed which gives, for the likes of me, detailed information about this cloud type of unusual phenenomenon – something I’ve not known about it till now – one of the many things I learnt about from the CAS and its members, thanks be!
Thanks to you, Ron, for this photo from which I’ve learnt something new. Good man!

Great shot and cool link. But wait! Is that a field of Mullein and two reindeer?
