My Own Halo

"Moon halos are a sign of high thin cirrus clouds drifting 20,000 feet or more above the ground.
These clouds contain millions of tiny ice crystals. The halos are caused by both refraction, or splitting of light, and also by reflection, or glints of light from these ice crystals. The crystals have to be oriented and positioned just so with respect to your eye, in order for the halo to appear.
That’s why, like rainbows, halos around the sun – or moon – are personal. Everyone sees their own particular halo, made by their own particular ice crystals, which are different from the ice crystals making the halo of the person standing next to you."

How cool is that?
I never thought that we each see rainbows or halos differently.
I kind of like knowing that I have my own, although my Mom has always said that I will never get a halo! :)

I started work a little early this morning at the office - I took this shot as I walked through the parking lot. Not a great photo but it was great to appreciate the halo in that one moment.
It was another long day.
