The morning run was foggy while taking photos and looking back I noticed that arch. The rest of the trip had to be filmed. ????

On a cross-country skiing, I stopped to take pictures of the swamp, so I noticed a halo around the sun. Crowned this ski run on the hiking trail!

Several halos and side suns in the sky. Didn't want to see if anything was recovered on my mobile phone, so I had to get a camera to help :) It's hard to get everyone in one picture.

The last projects had to be left in the sunshine, but it was cloudy and at the same time the halo was much clearer than before. This is where the happiness of Finns comes from ????

In the morning in the car on the move I saw this phenomenon, is this a halo? Pillar?

When I got to the car, I noticed those halos and suddenly went to take a picture on my cell phone. What halo is this?

Light pillars

We went in the moonlight at the back of the Iso-feed mountain to shoot cannon trees. There was frost in the air that made pillars for the slope lights. The air was therefore reddish when the light was reflected back to the ground. Interesting weather, different from a few nights earlier.

Half-sky auroras

I set out to practice northern lights shooting in a large field area. A stargazing happened in one picture. The show was great to watch! The sky was almost cloudless. An interesting experience to be alone in a place where a lot of predators move ... especially when during the day the wolf had killed the keeper on the other side of the dog ...

Halo phenomena covering the sky

A great phenomenon in the sky from morning to midnight! At about 9 I noticed and followed it all morning. There was a ring around the sun, on the sides, and around the sky. In addition to the strong winds, there was a real earth storm in the field.

One halo form

That’s the kind of picture I got from the halo some time ago. I think the size was big and that’s why I ask that what affects the size of the halo phenomenon and is a small ring more common than a big one? Is the old people's knowledge of the result of the snowfall then correct? after that, a night of snow came unexpectedly.

One halo form

Coming from the feed and descending the last higher hill, I noticed a halo. It didn’t get a picture until the next open place to stop was found. Maybe it wasn’t that handsome anymore but I took a few pictures of it. It would be nice to know how to make adjustments if a similar situation ever arises. No adjustments have been made to this image.
