Tom Davie of Environmental Graffiti wrote a very neat article about the 20 most intriguing light phenomena, covering such things as moonbow, fogbow, aurora, crepuscular rays and so on.
This one above is the 22° halo:
Halos are among the most well-known of optical phenomena and appear under a variety of guises. The most frequently scene is the 22º halo, caused by ice crystals in high altitude cirrus clouds, yet the particular shape and orientation of the crystals can create variation in the appearance of the halo. During very cold weather halos formed by crystals close to the ground reflect sunlight between them sending it in several directions at once, an effect known as diamond dust.

22° Halo and Other Fascinating Light Phenomena

many of the "halo's" are also due to the refraction in CHEMTRAILS that have dispersed out of planes. They are NOT condensation, nor are they clouds, but nonetheless: some people cannot tell the difference between a chemtrail and a real cloud (which is disturbing in many ways). I have photographed many Chemtrail Rainbows (not contrail, contrails disappear after 2 minuts maximum). Chemtrails ARE BAD, ok kids! I notice in the photograph that he is in fact pointing at dispersed chemtrails, and not a cirrus cloud as he claims it to be. unfortunate as he claims the word "Environmental" and cannot tell the difference between pollution and a real cloud. Apparently childeren are being taught in schools and in kids movies that these Aerosol Poisons in the air are clouds too, which makes me wonder what EXACTLY is actually going on with brainwashing these days. I'll keep a lookout for a Chembow Ring, but i would prefer a REAL RAINBOW DURING A NICE RAIN, ok! bye guys take care. ps- i like your webpage though, i'm still going through all this stuff. i like the lamp made out of cassette tapes especially.
