On 17th July '23 I saw the best #CircumzenithalArc I've ever seen! There was also a faint hint of a #SupralateralArc which showed up on colour subtracted images. The 1st image has the top of a #22DegreeHalo. Taken from #NorthOxfordshire #AtmosphericOptics #OpticalEffects

Forgot to post my iPhone photos of this stunning supralateral arc spotted over #Belfast #northernireland on 28th May 2023

I was walking in the park with my youngest boy and one of our dogs and couldn't believe my eyes when I looked up 👀

#22DegreeHalo + much less common #SupralateralArc from Oxfordshire, UK 15/03/23 ?faint #CircumzenithalArc also. Photos from 08:55-09:55UT when Sun altitude was 21-28 deg. Colour subtraction
really brought out the detail. Canon 1100D + 10mm lens #AtmosphericOptics

Three years ago today - not the rarest display I've witnessed, but one of the prettiest. Ice crystals scattering light.
