A vivid corona is spotted when the sun shines through a thin cloud and a bluish-white disc of light with a ruddy outer edge is on display, often surrounded by rings of iridescent colours. This classic example was seen by Cassie Eismann near Fort Scott, Kansas, US.

A colorful view of a storm system that is accentuated, as Jon describes, by the spots of rain on the car windshield. It adds to the "portal in time and space" vibe of this photograph, near Langfjordbotn, Finnmark, Norway.

Mystery solved. Thanks. I have a fascination with Light Houses across our globe so this photo takes on an added meaning. Cheers!
Laurence
Yes, a lighthouse :)
Apologies Vera for the incorrect information about the area, I have amended accordingly…IanL..Photo Gallery Editor….
PS I believe it is a lighthouse Laurence……
Thank you, Vera. I am grateful for your informative caption accompanying your lovely photo which is appreciated.
I am always interested in monuments and commemorative stones / plinths so I wish to know what the plinth in the RHS of your photo commemorates.
Mystery to me – could you say more, please?
My thanks in advance.
Laurence
It’s just not the Black sea, which is in the South, but the Moscow sea which is in the North (about 1500 km from the Black one), and actually it’s the artificial Moscow sea formed by the man-aimed flooding of the great Volga river :)
