Light pillars

6.3.2023 at 22.00 - Kouvola (II)
Tero Sipinen, Ursa (Etelä-Suomi)

A degree better pillars than the previous evening . Freeze 10 degrees. Maybe still in the precipitating crystals? (And in the wider picture, again as a bonus, circular).

Antti Taskinen, Joensuun Seulaset

Artificial light pillars decorated the sky, and I think the Moon could also see a dim ring of 22 degrees. Snow/sleet was falling slowly.

One halo form

A beautiful sunset. Pillar of the sun in colorful clouds. Maybe one narrow string of pearls?

During the shopping trip, it was noticed that the sun was glowing orange and a pillar was rising. There was no such view at the shooting location. However, many things could be seen due to the movement of the clouds and there was something floating in the air. I'm not sure if the pillars of either were visible in the pictures. A cloud started to appear in front of the sun and we started to continue our journey. Should have been a little longer. Yes, it was a shame to notice first in the side mirror and later when the trees were rustling the rather red sun with its pillars. Couldn't tak...

I happened to glance up and saw a strong zenith arc and a smaller dim arc below it, halfway to the horizon, overhead? Or Parry??

Rare halos

Jani Päiväniemi, Ursa (Pohjois-Suomi)

The upper and lower pillars were visible in the sun and the air was somehow such that I speculated on the possibility of an ellipse halo. I went to the beach to take pictures and for a moment some kind of elliptical ring was noticeable.

Several bright halo forms

6.3.2023 at 15.04 - 15.20 - Simo (III)
Joni Alavesa

I've only seen zyk a few times, and even dimly. Now it surprised quite a lot with its brightness! I can't say if there is anything directly above the sauri in the verikaalite other than the beginning of the ring in a few pictures.

Halos throughout the day, first thing in the morning 22ys and 22r seen for a long time, next to the situation a little before noon. Also heard 22r already seen.

Catch up on the day with the handset.

A halo in the sky for the joy of a frosty day.

Olli Sälevä

A little rain throughout the day when the clouds fall in the right place. There was also some feeling of an elliptical halo when viewed through sunglasses, but I couldn't capture it on film with my phone camera.

Several halo forms

Heidi Juopperi

In Vantaa, in the yard of the Matari kindergarten, a child noticed this light phenomenon, which was like a rainbow facing the wrong way.

Rare halos

Sami Leclercq

A routine glance at the sky revealed a really bright zyk. In the pictures, I can see the parry. A very bright left Sauri was visible for a while after the pictures were taken.

Several halo forms

6.3.2023 at 08.18 - 08.22 - Kuopio Syvänniemi (II)

It was an interesting sun early in the morning. Upper and lower sun pillars, but in addition to this, the sun had a colorful ring around it. Surely you could get more out of the picture with a different exposure? Now I don't really know what category this should have been put in when, in addition to the halos, there is also a ring. About -15 degrees below zero, calm weather and as you can see from the pictures, icicles were floating in the air. I have cut three pictures larger from the original picture.
