We saw this

May22008

Strange halo effect around the sun, did you get it here? It was mad, I have tried to photo it but couldn't get back far enough. How do you get further away from the sun?

Aha, reflected in my new shades! We really did see this in the sky though.

RE: We saw this

Didn't get any here - I've seen them before in Canada. When it's really cold the halo effect is produced by ice crystals high in the atmosphere. Not sure whether than can happen in Florida but if you go high enough I guess it's cold enough for ice crystals? They call them "snowdogs" in Canada.

Over to you, discussion about anything local, but please be considerate... Folkestone on TV, Kent gigs, Find a flatmate, rent a room, property queries, current news, what's new, local events, for sale, local services, what I like about Folkestone, ask questions, offer advice, plug yourself... the more it's used the more useful a resource it will become. If you want a gig listed click here to add it (fixed now!), or just click here to post a message...
