Christmas Moon Halo

Taken last night, just a chance photo taken on hubbies iPhone. It was upper atmosphere misty the halo can be seen it’s inner circle red.
The phenomenon is caused by ice crystals and is a sight to see.
A bit better on black

We have found 80 of the 99 ducks! Lol
Thank you for all your lovely comments and favs all are appreciated and welcome.

I've been seeing this during the past weekend. You did a good job of capturing it.

The iphone did a fair job of capturing that icy ring. Keep us posted on your progress with the duck hunt. How fun.
