There was a massive dark halo around the sun today. This was taken at 18mm (crop frame admittedly!) but I could only just get the whole thing in the frame. Ideally I would have liked to be even wider around it.
@rickster549@dide@caterina@peadar@karasoo2 Quite strange eh? According to the NZ Met Service, who replied to my post on FB... "This is an ice halo. There is thin high cloud called cirrus over much of Aotearoa today. This cirrus is made out of ice crystals and is the outflow from ex-tropical cyclone Uesi. More information on ice halos, and other atmospheric optics, on this blog https://blog.metservice.com/atmospheric-optics ^AJ"
