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.

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

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!

Southern California's unusually plentiful winter showers last year brought spring flowers in abundance, with millions of tiny bright blooms popping up almost overnight and blanketing the area in a rare phenomenon known as a "super bloom." This is a lovely memory from that spectacular event! Thinking of everyone and praying you and your loved ones are well and holding onto faith, hope and love...

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 )
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 😀
On July 12th, 2021, the three-day old Moon was close to the brightest “star” in the sky - planet Venus - as seen in the western sky, an astronomical phenomenon called conjunction. These events, including the Moon and bright planets, are quite common. If you zoom a lot into the photo, you may see the much dimmer planet Mars, just to the left and a little below Venus - I could not see it with the naked eye, due to its proximity to the much brighter Venus. Of course, these three worlds were very much separated in space - at the time of this conjunction, the Moon was about 387,000 Km away from the Earth, Venus was about 214 million Km and Mars about 372 million Km away. And a little above and to left of the Moon, the star named Regulus (The Lion’s heart) lies at 78 light years away or about 2 billion times further than the Moon! Better to stop these calculations…enjoy your summer!
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."

Whilst not the biggest of the major glaciers in Los Glaciares National Park, Spegazzini Glacier is a hugely impressive sight, if for no other reason than the sheer size of its wall, which can tower as high as 135 metres (440 feet).
The Spegazzini glacier is one of the bordering glaciers between Argentina and Chile after the Agreement to specify the route of the limit from Mount Fitz Roy to Cerro Daudet in 1998 . The lower section of the glacier is located in Argentina, in the Lago Argentino department of the Santa Cruz province . Its source is in Chile, in the province of Último Esperanza in the Magallanes region . It is protected by the Bernardo O'Higgins and Los Glaciares National Parks.
It has an area of 134 km² and an average width of 1.5 km . The glacier originates from the South Patagonian ice field and flows eastward, reaching the Spegazzini arm of Lake Argentino . Its main characteristic is the great height of its front, which reaches 135 m, making it the highest in Los Glaciares National Park and one of the most important. The vegetation around it produces a marked contrast of colors, produced by glacier erosion, humidity, wind and the sun.
It owes its name to the botanist Carlos Luis Spegazzini , who was the first to study the local flora.
The glacier is fed by the Mayo Norte and Peineta glaciers. In addition, it has the peculiarity of not showing signs of retreat, which is a phenomenon common to large glaciers.

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?

This is another shot similar to one I already shared. I was lucky to be there at the same time that the fog was on, I didn't have idea this phenomenon was going to occur that day, don't even know if it can be forecasted. The original intention was to shoot the moon setting in between the mountains, but the fog was really captivating because you don't see it there very often.

At the Passo di Giau I tried to photograph the Milky Way at home when I was editing, I noticed the green light in the sky. At first I thought it was somehow a sensor error, so I asked a colleague, he told me it was airglow, I didn't know what it was until now, so I googled it and found several videos that explain the airglow phenomenon well . For people who find the topic interesting, I have a suitable video on Youtube: Airglow: Jagd nach dem Alpenleuchten Gut zu wissen BR. (only for German speaking people)
for english speaking people Video Title on Youtube: Earth's Airglow Explained.
(I have to admit, it wasn't as strong as it is in the photo now. It bothered me at first when I didn't know that because I couldn't get it retouched out, but when I found out what it is, I took advantage of it and enhanced it in photoshop)

Am Passo di Giau habe ich versucht die Milchstraße zu Fotografieren zu Hause bei der Bearbeitung ist mir dann das Grüne Licht am Himmel aufgefallen. Als erstes dachte ich das es irgendwie ein Sensor Fehler war also fragte ich einen Kollegen, er sagte mir das sei Airglow, ich wusste bis jetzt nicht, was das ist also Googelte ich danach und bin auf mehrere Videos gestoßen, die das Phänomen Airglow gut Erklären. Für die Leute, die das Thema interessant finden habe ich hier ein passendes Video dazu gibt auf Youtube ein: Airglow: Jagd nach dem Alpenleuchten Gut zu wissen BR. anschauen.

(Ich muss zugeben, so stark wie es jetzt auf dem Foto ist war es nicht. Mich hat es am Anfang gestört, als ich das noch nicht wusste, weil ich es nicht raus retuschiert bekam, aber als ich erfahren habe, was es ist, habe ich es mir zu nutzen gemacht und habe es in photoshop verstärkt)

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.

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.

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.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

Ein Phänomen ist das rote Wasser der Ysperklamm. Es entsteht durch hohen Eisengehalt und Huminsäure. Huminsäuren werden durch Regen aus dem Boden ausgewaschen und deshalb ist die Färbung nach Regenfällen besonders stark.
One phenomenon is the red water of the Ysper gorge. It is caused by high iron content and humic acid. Humic acids are washed out of the soil by rain and therefore the colouring is particularly strong after rainfall.
