"Sundog" over West Sacramento




Thursday afternoon at the park...the sun had a large rainbow ring around it. ~Photo by Debbie


Trivia: The halos (or, sometimes known as "sundogs" around the sun) are usually seen when there are high clouds overhead. Those clouds are made of tiny ice crystals, which will refract the sunlight much like a prism will.

I saw one today in Naples, Florida.
First time for me. I was thoroughly amazed. I got a picture. It was not a real good one though.
