One halo form

21.2.2023 at 16.41 - 16.50 - Kuopio, Syvänniemi (I)

Double sun. Evening run on the Kuttajärvi ice; the calm. Clear. Freeze hard -17c. In the sun, the so-called second sun above. There must also be a pearl garden at the end? Photographed about a quarter of an hour before sunset. (Added a picture at the end, from which it would no longer have been possible to tell which one was the real sun).

Vesa Vasankari, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

Halostelua in Jyväskylä on the axis Palokka-Kukkumäki, from where the last wide angle. I noticed Palokka from the 4th road as it turned to the pillar of the sun, and as the observation view opened up better, I could see various arcs above the sun that had already sunk behind the horizon. I found a higher observation point in Savulahti's new residential area and all but the last picture is from there. I've edited the fourth picture a bit as a test. As the observation period, I have set the times of taking the first and last picture.

It was supposed to be cloudy today. It wasn't :) the sun sometimes shone brighter and then again from behind the clouds. I took pictures at different times and I was able to see the tire more than once. However, with my luck, it's only about lens reflections. I will also put one picture where there was an attempt to form a circle.

Hi I've seen halos, but not like this. Two rolls and then another one on top of the outer one. I didn't realize to take more pictures. And as you can see from the end, the arch was almost palpable there, even with the eye you could see that it was on this side of the edge of the forest. video: https://share.icloud.com/photos/0a6uVDrDk5AzyXpKpLuXYYdJA

Jani Päiväniemi, Ursa (Pohjois-Suomi)

It was very cold in the morning, -25-30 degrees in the lowlands. Even in the fell -18 and a cold east wind. In the morning, an orange, thick lower pillar of the sun appeared, which gradually became thinner as the sun rose, and the brightening of the lower sun was also visible. I didn't notice any other forms. Pictures in reverse order. Yes, it was okay for ski vacationers to ski, a beautiful day.
