Halo is the name for a family of optical phenomena produced by light interacting with ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere.
Halos can have many forms, ranging from colored or white rings to arcs and spots in the sky. Many of these are near the Sun or Moon, but others occur elsewhere or even in the opposite part of the sky.
The ice crystals responsible for halos are typically suspended in cirrus or cirrostratus clouds high (5–10 km, or 3–6 miles) in the upper troposphere, but in cold weather they can also float near the ground, in which case they are referred to as diamond dust.
The particular shape and orientation of the crystals are responsible for the type of halo observed. Light is reflected and refracted by the ice crystals and may split up into colors because of dispersion. The crystals behave like prisms and mirrors, refracting and reflecting light between their faces, sending shafts of light in particular directions.
Un modesto temporale nel tardo pomeriggio ha portato poca pioggia, ma allontanandosi ha lasciato dietro sé, al tramonto, uno spettacolo affascinante.

On a dog sled through a cold, but exceptionally beautiful evening in the Norwegian mountains. Looks almost like we're waiting for Santa.
Unfortunately I did not catch all of the the snow crystals that blew just above the surface of the snow, but it was cold and I did not have the tripod with me on the trip. As usual...

While waiting for the sunset I've got into this curious phenomenon. The clouds were turning around and gathering on the summit of this mountain. The final effect was seeming an erupting volcano. Why not dedicate a shot to it. I love the clouds!
This phenomenon of disruptive ice slabs stacking on each other is described as "hummocks".

A few days here is fog. On 21 December, the fog was very large. When the sun comes, what was white fog, transformed to yellow fog. I've never seen. I was the enchanted. I spent four hours there, as long as the phenomenon lasted.
Diamond Fuji is a phenomenon in which the sun appears like a diamond when it overlaps the top of Mt. Fuji.

I was really tired and I had just walked up to the lighthouse at Point Reyes....this appeared and I freaked out! I thought I was seeing things. From what I have learned it is known as a
GLORY..... I guess I've now seen GLORY:)

I have been informed this is also known as a Brocken Spectrehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brocken_spectre
This phenomenon arises from the old wood, temperatures must be just below freezing with high humidity!
The fog phenomenon
During autumn and winter, parts of the northern Alpine valleys, as well as the villages and cities of the low areas of the Mittelland, experience a climatic phenomenon in the form of a lowland fog. This occurs when the stable, high-pressure weather conditions prevail over central Europe and the Alps and create cold air masses. This results in a blanket of fog that can cover the areas for days or even weeks.
Meanwhile, towns perched high up in the Alps get to enjoy warm weather due to an inversion. This occurs when the air above the fog line is warmer than the air below. For this reason, Switzerland’s high-altitude resorts are extremely popular destinations come wintertime. (this info was copied from EXPATICA )
The Fairy Pools are a natural waterfall phenomenon in Glen Brittle on the Isle of Skye. The vivid blues and greens of the pools suggest an unnatural origin. They are a popular place for wild swimmers.
The habitat of the Fairy Pools hosts a variety of animals, such as red deer, rabbits, and sheep. The area is also host to a large number of birds. Large flocks of crows, ravens, and gulls are present in the area, as well as such smaller birds as meadow pipits, turnstones, common ringed plovers, grey herons, dunlins, and curlews. The physical landscape is predominately rocky, with some boggy areas here and there. The water in the area is typically cold.
The Fairy Pools are a popular location for walkers. It is about a 20 minute walk to the Fairy Pools from the Glen Brittle car park.

Sunset last gave me the pleasure of seeing the phenomenon called the green flash (the bit at the top of the sun)
I’ve tried many times in the past to see this but failed.
One off the photo bucket list 😀
I say mystical, but in all honesty, the only thing mystical about this tree is that a shepherds fence post became an international phenomenon. Perhaps the sheer beauty of the South Island of New Zealand contributed to the mystique.
According to Wikipedia, "glory is an optical phenomenon, resembling an iconic saint's halo around the shadow of the observer's head, caused by sunlight or (more rarely) moonlight interacting with the tiny water droplets that compose mist or clouds."
Rotenflue SZ, Switzerland
This strange phenomenon of frozen, snow covered trees occurs in winter when temperatures range from -40 degrees to -50 degrees Celsius usually seen at the top of the mountain.

Almost at every dawn, this phenomenon of a misty ray of golden sunlight streaks momentarily across the valley illuminating the buildings of Langmusi . This is possible because of the shape of the peaks and the altitude of the surrounding hills and the frequent presence of the morning mist .
An upside down rainbow which belongs to the halo family of weather optical phenomenon. It is made up of ice crystals on Cirrus clouds. There is lots of technical data that go with these, but I will let you look it all up!
I, mountain view, looked over the horizon to the place when the setting sun vanished. The setting sun was not on the horizon but rather below the horizon. Although the scene appeared somehow super natural, nothing more usual was occurring than a setting sun and cloudless. As I was content to gazing, the light glowed last slight of burgundy before turning silver into the moonlight.

Driving home this evening I noticed that we had some Sun dogs, an atmospheric optical phenomenon with bright rainbow spots on either side of the sun. When I got home I changed lens but wasn't able to get the sun dogs, but you can see the 22 degree halo around the sun that comes with the Sun dogs.

Ok, so I was out by the edge of the woods taking some night shots when I heard this strange rustling buzzing sound.
What could that be ?.. So I put my Nikon onto the tripod and set it for 30 seconds.... . . . . . . . POW! all of these lights come streaming from within the deep woods and across my shot !!
Super bright and moving at lighting speed. Gone in a second.
Three of them came straight at me and the camera then turned.
They lit up the trees they had been in and came straight at me!!!!
....................
It would appear that I had disturbed some creatures which had been resting in the trees. I have no explanation ?????
OK - OK == I had set up a 30 second exposure shot of this forest and then for some strange reason in the middle of the 30 seconds turned the camera around 180* to set up for my next shot of a parking lot behind me. Voilà - when I downloaded my roll the aliens came in through my window and used lasers to warm up my tea.
The phenomenon used to be called "Beer Goggles" - the more you drink, the later it gets, the fewer choices you have, the lower your personal standards of what you will attempt . . .
Aren't we all more attractive to someone at closing time?

The anticline is an upwardly convex fold that appears in the landscape as a hill levelled by erosion. It was formed by the accumulation of sea deposits over millions of years. The shifting of the layers of the earth and the formation of the anticline are the result of tectonic shift.
I shot this video last year. This is a screenshot from my video. The sun was setting after a storm and I saw a beautiful rainbow that caught my eye. I didn't notice when I was recording, but there where some flying objects that were moving in speeds that I have never seen. They came to a stop as if they were admiring the beauty of what caught my eye. I saw them shooting across the clouds like shooting stars except they were changing their directions and stopping. There was a total of 9 that I counted in my video that I had to slow down to see them all.
I ran to my room to get my 600mm lens and camera, and by the time I got back they were gone. This wasn't my first encounter, and I believe it won't be my last. Just wanted to share this with whoever is interested in these kind of phenomenon. If you've had any experiences like this please share. I haven't looked into it, but I'm curious why they were watching the rainbow. I've heard that they use storms to recharge their aircrafts.

I have never really seen a perihelion/ sun dog quite like this one, most seem to look like a wide angle lens flare effect, but this one has a very pronounced second sun, I guess caused by ice crystals formed in the clouds to the left : )
Cette balade fait partie des incontournables. Paysage et criques splendides
C'est une ballade magnifique qui offre des points de vue extraordinaires sur la côte, les plages et les villes alentour comme Toulon.
À l'origine, l'île de Giens était semblable à ses voisines, les îles d'Hyères. Jusqu'au jour où, il y a plusieurs milliers d'années, s'opéra lentement un phénomène naturel le plus curieux de toute la méditerranée : le double tombolo (les deux cordons sableux qui relient l’île au continent).
La randonnée sur la Presqu’île de Giens est une boucle de 6km autour du port de la Madrague. C’est une balade d’une étonnante richesse qui parcourt différents milieux, allant de la pinède littorale au milieu dunaire, en passant par le littoral. Des paysages aussi diversifiés que surprenants à découvrir !

his ride is a must. Beautiful landscape and coves
It is a beautiful ballad that offers extraordinary views of the coast, beaches and surrounding towns like Toulon.
Originally, the island of Giens was similar to its neighbors, the islands of Hyères. Until the day when, thousands of years ago, there was slowly a most curious natural phenomenon of all the Mediterranean: the double tombolo (the two sandy cords that connect the island to the continent).
The hike on the peninsula of Giens is a loop of 6km around the port of Madrague. It is a stroll of astonishing richness that goes through different environments, ranging from the coastal pine forest to the dune, passing by the coast. Landscapes as diverse as surprising to discover!

Whilst in Iceland, it would be criminal not to go and see the Geysers. These geothermal hot springs explode as temperatures reach up to 185 degrees centigrade 20 metres below the surface. It varies between each Geyser but every 20 minutes or so a great display of water shoots up creating this well known phenomenon.

Reports of the abduction phenomenon have been made all around the world, but are most common in English-speaking countries, especially the United States.[3] The first alleged alien abduction claim to be widely publicized was the Betty and Barney Hill abduction in 1961.
