Tag Archives: ice crystals

Eric Duff recently photographed the sky at Cooks Beach. He actually capture a  circumhorizontal arc, also sometimes called a fire rainbow, and a halo around the sun.

These are both formed because of ice crystals in the atmosphere. They refract and reflect the light. Very wonderful photo. Thanks to Eric for allowing me to share it with you here.

The fog pulled back and we are having a sunny, mild day on the coast. Much warmer weather for the holiday weekend.
