[Closed] Any fans of atmospheric optic phenomena in?

Ooo. Nice. Hard to pick out the parhelic but I think I can just about see it on the left of the sun. Cool.

(Wasn't like that up here on Sunday...)

WOW. That's really good. I thought i was the only one who took pictures of the sky (i'm in Birmingham so it's the most intresting thing to shoot)

Taken whilst on holiday in Jamaica.

Love the one taken through sunglasses.

ooh, very nice!! Meteorology student here.

Some anticrepuscular rays from the train this evening.

Not too impressive to look at, but kind of fun to spot. Bit of notional Eye-Spy points scoring, I guess!

This one's amazing! http://www.atoptics.co.uk/atoptics/shuttle.htm

As a long-time Cloudspotter member, I'm constantly looking at clouds and the sky in general.there was a 22 degree solar halo a couple of weeks ago that lasted most of the afternoon, and sundogs are something I always like to see.
Kelvin-Helmholtz formations are one of my favourites, only ever seen two.

Present for you, CZ: a mate of mine saw these in Fernie, BC, a few weeks ago:

He's a keen surfer. He was stoked.

Bloody heck! 😯
Those are a bit more impressive than mine!
[edit] Bloody Photobucket is being an arse, can't link properly. Sod it. 👿

Always got a soft spot for crepuscular rays...

tonight's delight, a circumzenithal arc

Is a double rainbow interesting enough for this thread?

I like rainbows, how about this?

Isn't that how Independence Day started?...

I like Rainbows too!

Having said that , I could never understand why Bungle was bollock naked during the day but put pyjamas on to go to bed. 🙂

Everyone likes a rainbow!

At the beach yesterday, plenty of cirrus about, and we all know what that means!

one of these:

a contrail shadow (with all the fluffy bits included!) a bit more of the halo, and a stonker of a parhelic arc.

Have yet to get the K-H photos to where I can link to them, but the halo I mentioned is this one, and I'm not sure, but looking at it again there seems to be a hint of a parahelic arch at the top and bottom:

Right, here we are, taken back in 2013 between Uffington White Horse and Wayland's Smithy, near Wantage, a miracle I actually spotted it:

Oooh. Not an expert by any means but if that's not a proper KH thingy then it's a very good impression of all the other ones I've seen pictures of. Very nice...

missed that, CZ, very nice!

Saw this a couple of days ago. A small snippet of Circumzenithal Arc. very colourful! I was in the garden, with a few people passing on the path. I showed everyone who passed by while it was there, and they were all happy and grateful! 😀

[img] [/img]

Ooo, that's pretty! It's amazing how many people never spot things like sundogs. Well spotted.

Well I've learnt some cool stuff this morning! Never heard of any of those terms, but loved the pictures, have googled and now will be looking upwards a lot more!

😀 @ bigdaddy!

There was a good ice halo round the moon tonight. I didn't get to my camera in time, but here's one from the same spot a couple of years ago:

Lovely ice halo visible now at nethy

Saw that in Inverness last night too.

Aye, also visible in East Lothian last night.
