Rainbow's End

I've always been fascinated by optical effects, especially those involving colour splitting. Over the years I've made a collection of images of them, and I'm sharing some of them with you today.

Taken from home in #Scotland, these are #parhelia or #SunDogs formed when ice crystals in high cirrostratus cloud refract the light and it splits into coloured bands.
These two look quite a lot like feathers, I think.

Happy #Solstice !

I love when the conditions are so perfect that you see the atmophere playing with the #Sun light to produce lot of photometeors. On this #APOD #picture we can clearly see an #halo to the sun, a light pillar as well as the 2 #sundogs (parts of the parhelic circle).
