22° halo (Explored)

This wonderful natural phenomenon is called 22° halo. It forms as sunlight is refracted in hexagonal ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere.

 

Although a common scene at higher altitudes, quite a rare scene here in Hyderabad :-)

 

The drying clothes in the terrace gave me this compositional opportunity!
