I work as a data scientist but don’t ask me what one is. Really I make charts for a living. Departing Frequentism for Bayesian data analysis. Cycle whenever possible. Go birding at every opportunity. Is known to tangle a fly line in shrubs.

#AmazingWorld
In #Alaska, nature sculpted this lone tree into a frozen wave at sunrise.
Relentless wind, drifting snow, and rime ice stacked layer by layer until the branches looked like feathers made of frost.
That soft golden glow is the sun catching every icy strand, turning the whole scene into a winter sculpture for a few brief moments.
Bent by the storm, but still standing. Still reaching.
I have no idea what the source of this image is, but yeah, I Laughed Out Loud.

Brent Mckean captured this amazing moonlit scene with three combined exposures on an icy winter morning in Manitoba, Canada.

The colorful rings are a corona caused by diffraction by ice crystals near the direction of the Moon.

Outside those rings, a 22-degree halo was created by moonlight refracting through ice crystals shaped like hexagonal prisms.

On the left and right are 'moon dogs', caused by light refracting through thin, flat, 6-sided ice crystals.

At the top and bottom of the 22-degree halo are 'upper and lower tangent arcs', created by moonlight refracting through nearly horizontal hexagonal ice prisms.

A few minutes later the halo and arcs disappeared and the sky returned to normal -- with the exception of a single faint moon dog.
