Halo around the Sun - Sun Halo - Halos are due to the light of the Sun reflected by high-altitude clouds, cirrostratus, composed of ice crystals. They bend the light and cause a perfect circle around the Sun. Halos are caused by sunlight being refracted by cirro - stratus clouds. These are thin clouds, very high in the atmosphere, and are composed of ice crystals. They bend light at a 22 degree angle, which creates a halo around the sun that is 44 degrees in diameter

Arc de fog - Fogbow - Arc de brume observed in Brittany on February 23, 2008. A haze arc is formed in the way of a rainbow. The light of the Sun is reflected in the water drops of the mist, but unlike raindrops, the mist droplets are much smaller: about a millimetre for the rain versus a few centiemes for the mist. As a result, the diffraction in the mist droplets is preponderant, which results in colour refracting at random angles, between 30 and 45* around the anti-sun point (opposite the Sun). Thus, all colours blend and one sees a white arch of light, sometimes slightly bluish on the inside and red on the outside, wider than a rainbow. Fogbow seen in Brittany on Feb 23, 2008. A fogbow is forming like a rainbow. The sunlight reflects in the fog droplets, but thoses droplets are much more smaller than the raindrops: about hundredths millimeters for the fog instead of about one millimeter for the rain. Thus, the diffraction in the fog droplets is leading, then the colors are refracted

The foreground is the Church of Agia Eleousa which lies atop a mountain at an altitude of approximately 165 meters (500 feet), northeast of Athens. The photo was taken from a distance of 3495 meters away to the east of Agia Eleousa so as to yield a reasonable balance in the aspect ratio involving the foreground church and setting sun as well as to provide the ideal azimuth and altitude for these photos to be possible.

Solar column - Solar pillar - A solar column is created by the reflection of solar light on the horizontal faces of ice crystals. It therefore requires a fairly stable atmosphere to keep these crystals parallel to the horizon. 16 June 2006, Finistere. A solar pillar is created by the reflection a sunlight (when sun is at or low to the horizon) on the horizontal face of ice cristals. So, a quiet atmosphere is needed in order that this cristals stay parallel to the horizon. June 16 2006, Brittany, France

Noctulescent clouds - Noctilucent clouds: July 6, 2016, Spicheren, France. These rare clouds are called noctilucent or “” night shining” as they seem to glow in the dark. They are caused by ice crystals at about 80 km altitude. These crystals reflect sunlight when the sun is well below the horizon. They are properly known as polar mesospheric clouds and are under intense study as it remains a mystery as to how they are formed. Date: July 6, 2016. Location: Spicheren, France
