#Mirages · Hornisgrinde · #BlackForest · Germany

This image is a section of a panorama and shows how a distant mountain range appears distorted due to mirages – caused by temperature inversion.

The full #panorama shows the chain of the #Alps from the Allgäu Alps (east, at left) to the Bernese Oberland (west).

While flying by plane. ​​I was possible to capture the #atmospheric #optical #phenomenon "#glory" or otherwise the light of the #Buddha. The picture shows the shadow of the #plane surrounded by #rainbows. "Glory" is usually seen from #airplanes and in the #mountains (when the #clouds are below the #observer). It is formed on the surface of a cloud or #fog, on which the #shadow of an object #illuminated from the side falls.

Had to get up early today to do some outside stuff, was worth it to see this bad boy.

I saw two solar halo phenomena in high clouds but I only managed to cap one. I think it's a 46° halo, but they're rare so maybe it's a colourless infralateral arc?
I've already capped double sundogs and a weak 22° halo this year so I'm on a roll.

Thrilled to have this sighting of an #IceHalo, #CircumhorizontalArc, at the French River Delta, Key River, #GeorgianBay #Ontario Canada.The bright spectrum colored band, parallel to the horizon, is a refraction of the sun on the ice crystals in the cirrus or cirrostratus clouds when the sun is at its highest which was at 12:00 noon.

So, @stylo_the_unicorn nudged me to post images of the glass bottle shard I found, which to my eyes appears opaque dark blue but when held to the light seems a transparent mid green. There's no direct sun through the thick altocumulus stratiformis opacus clouds (sorry, I collect clouds) so capturing an image was difficult and, interestingly, the camera's colour correction software is processing glass that looks green to my eyes as a redder-browner colour. Any explanation of the apparent colour change in the glass, please?
