Sun Halo from Norway

[mherbert]

Unlike many places in Europe we are experiencing the best May weather ever. However not seen any Ncls yet, but last night we had a really good show from the setting sun.

Hi,
Your not wrong, Here in the west of Scotland I think we've had some of the best observing conditions for a LONG time!

Nice pics of the halo, I enjoy watching out for these optical effects too.
cheers,
Bill.

Hi,

Fantastic images. As Bill mentioned, we've also had some excellent weather here in Scotland. No NLC as yet though! Hope it isn't too long before you catch some from Norway.

Hi Mike and welcome to the NLC forum. Thanks for sharing those great halo images with us. I'm particularly fond of number 2 with the lake in the foreground. See a sundog on the W side of the halo. Is that a rare type of halo on the inside of the halo (R)?.

This halo is not an average one, but made by very rare pyramidal crystals, so you were really lucky to catch them!
You can read about it at Les Cowley's site:

Congratulations on these beautiful pics!

I have always found them fascinating, and unusual especially from my own terrace!

I have quite a few photos of halo's on my web side www.dreki.no all from Iceland including one around a full moon.

See Iceland 2007 and 2008 Winter photos

In Trondheim tonight and unfortunately its now clouding over. so not much chance of seeing any Ncls tonight.

I am actually staying in a place called Hell!...and actually its quite nice.
