Stardust
An exceptional, almost magical event, and yet so easily overlooked, only lasting for seconds, and best observed through binoculars or the zoom lens of the camera:
A sun rise at 3 o’clock in the afternoon.
On the way back from a hike at Mount Edith Cavell I noticed the sun reappearing over the rim of the mountain. Wind blowing over the cliff edge raised fine snow dust and its backlit particles were glowing like sparkling stars on the sky, while the steam of a small cloud colorfully refracted the light, reminding me of the stardust of a far away galaxy.
Certainly something I have not seen before.
