Frost is prettier than snow!
FROST. It’s not snowing where I am, but we get pretty frost!
I’m just sad that we don’t get real snow…*sigh*
Also, running outside to take this picture in the utterly freezing cold in shorts at 7.30am-not fun ><
Sundog!
Super tired, I managed to still go for a walk in search of something to photograph.
I went to my hill, as usual, and saw that there was a rainbow reflected in the cirrus clouds! The name escaped me whilst I was there, but then I remembered: a SUNDOG.
A sundog is when the light reflects off the high cloud that is made of ice crystals…I didn’t look that up, so I’m going by my knowledge ><
What I particularly liked was that there was one on either side of the sun! Thankfully, where I was standing, the sundogs on either side were equally as vivid, giving a cool effect like a halo around the sun, and the sundogs on either side! [you can also partially see the halo, very faint, in the first picture].
I love paraphernalia such as this^^ Especially the rainbow ones! I also saw a sun halo once. It was amazing!
You should go look up some paraphernalia, they’re beautiful=]
Iridescence~
I can’t help it. I’m in love with clouds^-^ I even made an effort NOT to post cloud pictures often, because otherwise every day would be a cloud picture, and maybe even a ramble about that cloud…But I couldn’t help it, this was awesome!
It’s called iridescence. When the sun’s rays reflect[refract?] off the ice crystals in the higher atmosphere clouds [aka. cirrus clouds].It causes a beautiful rainbow effect!
I can’t remember the exact scientific reason it happens, but it’s awesome phenomena and beautiful! If only my camera had better zoom, it’d be less…not clear ><
