Nimbus

The sky in Snoqualmie, WA.

 

Must view large on black

 

This is a halo (also, known as nimbus, icebow or Gloriole.) I captured this in Snoqualmie, WA. It is not a lens flare; it was visible by the naked eye when I took the shot.

 

It was a magical experience to notice it, and have all the time to take the long exposure shot. About 30 minutes later it was gone.

 

 

Have a wonderful weekend.
