Sundog

"Sundogs are colored spots of light that develop due to the refraction of light through ice crystals. They are located approximately 22 degrees either left, right, or both, from the sun, depending on where the ice crystals are present."

@30pics4jackiesdiamond @alophoto @koalagardens @darchibald @joansmor @wakelys @ludwigsdiana @phil_howcroft @olivetreeann @la_photographic @corinnec @kjarn @onewing I am so happy that you all liked this one. As I look at it again I realized it looks like the sun setting but the sun was actually out of the frame on the left. Perhaps I should have included it in the photo so you could get a better perspective of what I was seeing

[Kathy]

Pretty to see it sitting on the horizon.

[Brian]

Wow! Such an extraordinary story telling image and narrative

[Mary Siegle]

So…that’s not the sun itself, but the sundog? Awesome!

@randystreat I actually took it through a rearview mirror, which is why the sun didn’t show up in the photo. Thank you, Capp.
@briaan that really makes me happy to hear Brian. I am so happy you like it.
@mcsiegle it does look like the sun, but it was not and it had a little bit more color in reality. Thanks, Mary.
