Un modesto temporale nel tardo pomeriggio ha portato poca pioggia, ma allontanandosi ha lasciato dietro sé, al tramonto, uno spettacolo affascinante.

Racetrack Playa , a mostly dry lake off the beaten track in Death Valley.
About the "migration" of stones there are some different explanations. However, so far no one has been able to observe.
After all, the phenomenon of the wandering stones does not seem to be so rare. In California alone, it should give them to 16 points.

Racetrack Playa, ein meist ausgetrockneter See abseits der üblichen Routen im Death Valley.
Über die "Wanderung" der Steine gibt es einige, verschiedene Erklärungsversuche. Bislang hat es jedoch noch niemand beobachten können.
Immerhin scheint das Phänomen der wandernden Steine nicht so selten zu sein. Allein in Kalifornien soll es sie an 16 Stellen geben.

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.
a phenomenon in nature, like a flower or a snowflake whose vegetable or earthly origins are an inseparable part of their beauty.

Das Polarlicht (wissenschaftlich Aurora borealis als Nordlicht auf der Nordhalbkugel und Aurora australis als Südlicht auf der Südhalbkugel) ist eine Leuchterscheinung durch angeregte Stickstoff- und Sauerstoffatome der Hochatmosphäre, also ein Elektrometeor. Polarlichter sind meistens in etwa 3 bis 6 Breitengrade umfassenden Bändern in der Nähe der Magnetpole zu sehen. Hervorgerufen werden sie durch energiereiche geladene Teilchen, die mit dem Erdmagnetfeld wechselwirken. Dadurch, dass jene Teilchen in den Polarregionen auf die Erdatmosphäre treffen entsteht das Leuchten am Himmel.
Wenn Polarlichter gesehen werden, kann man sich wenn man will, auf dem Schiff auch mitten in der Nacht wecken lassen. Die Herausforderung ist dann das fotografieren. Langzeitbelichtung auf einem sich bewegenden Schiff, mit laufenden Motoren die Vibrationen verursachen.
The aurora borealis (scientifically aurora borealis as northern lights in the northern hemisphere and aurora australis as southern lights in the southern hemisphere) is a luminous phenomenon caused by excited nitrogen and oxygen atoms of the high atmosphere, i.e. an electrometeor. Auroras are mostly seen in bands of about 3 to 6 degrees of latitude near the magnetic poles. They are caused by energetic charged particles interacting with the Earth's magnetic field. The glow in the sky is caused by these particles hitting the earth's atmosphere in the polar regions.
If auroras are seen, you can be woken up in the middle of the night on the ship if you want. The challenge is then to take pictures. Long exposure on a moving ship, with running engines causing vibrations.
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".

Diamond Fuji is a phenomenon in which the sun appears like a diamond when it overlaps the top of Mt. Fuji.
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 )
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.
Happy Valentine's Day!

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!
A common phenomenon. You are traveling. You encounter an interesting small town with intriguing shops and boutiques. None of them are open, it’s Wednesday. Sorry! Weekends only. At least the bars are open. :-)
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.

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.

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 . . .

That dive across from the Mirage Motel 66, somewhere out on the Mother Road (Route 66)

Here I am about 20 linear km north-east of Trieste and at an altitude of 870m on the Mount Vremščica ridge-plateau (the summit is 1026m a.s.l., while in front you can see the soft Slatina pre-peak, 929m a.s.l.),
Vremščica divides the Coastal Karst (Primorska in Slovenija and Trieste Karst in Italia) from the Internal Karst-Dinaric Region (Notranjska, Slovenija).
On this Karst moor (gmajna) it rained in the afternoon and now the weather is more stable.
With the sun hidden, isolated patches of fog form from saturation of the water vapor due to the cooling of the ground.
Radiation fog is an opposite phenomenon to the one that is developing (in the sky) in the direction of Ljubljana, where, unlike here, the previous sunshine has overheated the ground activating updrafts and the formation of towering clouds with a heavy thunderstorm forming.
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.

We passed by Storvatnet lake on our way to Nusfjord on the Lofoten islands and noticed these utterly strange ice formations in the making which were light green of colour and wrapped like a beautiful veil. No idea what kind of weather or physical phenomenon can cause thise but I am sure I have never before seen anything like it. Any explanation anyone??
Fortunatamente, arrivata in prossimità della costa, la tromba d'acqua si è estinta.

Another hard disk find:
In the afternoon we experienced very different clouds at the high Rainbow Point/Bryce Canyon.
Here and there a sunspot came through and grazed the landscape. The result was a few minutes in the distance, a light phenomenon: not the sun's rays led to beams but the reflection of the light from the illuminated rocks against the dark sky.
Ein weiterer Festplatten-Fund:
Nachmittags erlebten wir am hoch gelegenen Rainbow Point des Bryce Canyon sehr unterschiedliche Wolkenschichten.
Hier und da kam ein Sonnenspot durch und streifte über die Landschaft. Dabei ergab sich für wenige Minuten in der Ferne ein Lichtphänomen: nicht die Sonnenstrahlen führten zu Beams sondern die Reflektion des Lichts von den angeleuchteten Felsen gegen den dunklen Himmel.

This is a series of this little MacGillivray's Warbler on my Hummingbird feeder drinking from the 'sweet water'. I've never seen a phenomenon like this and she's been back for the past three days. These were all taken through a 'not so clean sliding glass door window'. I do have a bird bath so it's not a lack of water she's missing. I have a flock of these little birds and she's the ONLY one that does this!!!

A natural phenomenon that occurs rarely when the tide is low and the water appears still and not moving. Then a pathway is becoming visible.
