[ Longa Ombro ]

Nebulo estas nur tre tre tre malaltaj nuboj, kaj supren blua ĉielo.

Kiam starante kun via dorso rekte al la vintro suno, vi povos fiksrigardi glaciarkon tie, kie kaj via propra ombro kaj la montara ombro, renkontiĝas.

~lumspektra aŭreolo~

[epo] Starante sur neĝokovrita montopinto kun la dorso turnita al la malalta suno, tre tre longa ombro ĵetiĝas de oniaj kruroj laŭ la skivojo al la valo sube, kiu estas kovrita en maro da nebulo, kie aliaj montoj aperas kiel insuloj. La glaciaj kristaloj de la malaltaj nuboj kreas kompletan cirklan ĉielarkan aŭreolon. Glaciarko.

[eng] Standing on a snow covered mountain top with ones back to the low sun, a very very long shadow is cast from one's legs down the ski piste toward the valley below that is covered in a sea of fog where other mountains apear as islands. The icy crystals of the low clouds create a complete circular rainbow halo. An icebow.

Some lovely icebows today! These were very close to the late sun in the afternoon. Maybe 10 degrees off. Pretty sure it wasn’t 22 degrees. Wonder what shape the ice crystals were?

#IceBow #rainbow #TheWorldIsStillBeautiful

Looking at subtle pink and green highlights in remnants in relatively low cumulus clouds moving fast with strong cold winds from the north east.  The coloring is from light diffraction though ice crystals in a similar manner to how a rainbow forms.

Apparently this is an #icebow, formed by light refraction through ice crystals instead of rain, as in a rainbow. Google says they're rare, but I've seen quite a few over the years. I saw one around the moon the other day. Sometimes called a gloriole (oh dear, checks spelling)

Edit to attach photo...

An icebow visible around the sun. The sky has light cloud, but is otherwise blue. Bushland and the edge of a raised deck fill the foreground.

February sun
Not typical in these climes
Ice bow a bonus

A #Sundog #IceBow from a couple of days ago!

Looking west though leafless trees at a rainbow colored sun dog-type ice bow. A bright rainbow-colored spot in the sky, red on the left, green blue in the right. Sun shining s not visible but s about 22 degrees to the south (left) and low in the sky.

An ice bow — it appears as a small pillar close to the horizon about 22 degrees to the right of the Sun.
