Atmospheric phenomena this afternoon...

Post by cyprusmax47 »

Relaxing on the sunbed I realized suddenly the three suns which appeared with high clouds... and ran like a streak to get my camera.

That is so cool, to be honest I don't understand how it happens but I think it is called sun dogs or something like that, I wish I had seen it though but glad you caught pics of it.

The sun dog! :) Some good ones at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GHZOvhxS1E
Actually, it is not a very rare phenomenon; I'd guess I've seen a dozen or so in my life, usually single-sided.
