Sundog
Hello Hivers
Recently while skiing I saw a sundog. They are also known as parhelion. The picture below was not edited in any way, that is how it looked in person, the second one was edited a little.
They are caused by ice crystals in the atmosphere that refract the light.
Throughout history scholars, and writers have mentioned sundogs, from Aristotle, Seneca and Shakespeare.
Thanks for viewing the sundog with me.

A rare occurrence. I managed to observe him several times.
I have seen it once, I didn't know it had that name "sundog", it seems to me an unusual phenomenon for this humid tropical climate, although here it looks more like two suns and not a perfect halo.
I've never seen a full sundog like that!! Only little rings, or fragmented parts of the circle. Amazing.
That’s the best one I have ever seen.. amazing..
