Fun In The Sun
We saw a really weird thing today. The sun had a ring of light around it - like a halo. It was almost perfectly circular.
Between the sun and the ring the sky was darker than normal. The ring was very well defined as you can see from above.
Unfortunately it wasn't possible to get the entire ring into the picture as it was so large.
Don't know what could have caused this. Someone said it was a freak ice formation in the clouds. Someone else said water vapour.
Maybe it's something like a rainbow - but there were no colours other than brilliant white on view from where we were.
