Sun Halo
Today I saw something strange around the sun, a sun halo.
Halos are an optical phenomenon that occur around the sun or the moon while there are very high cirrus clouds in the atmosphere. Halos are caused by light reflected and refracted by ice crystals. The colors occur because as the light is refracted, the wavelengths are split into the red, orange, blue, that you see in the halo. It is more common to see halos at night around the moon.
Since I am a member of Blip I always have my camera in my neighbourhood and also this time.
