Several halo forms

For a short while, the tire was visible. Quite a surprise for today. The weather is cold and changeable. It's raining hail every now and then. It also rained and the wind was stormy at times.

Hail in the summer season

Maritta Kinnunen

During this day, there have been so many hailstorms that I can't remember anything like it. It was also raining. The wind has been stormy at times. For a moment the sun appeared. Fast weather changes. Before these cloud pictures, there was a really strong wind, the air was cloudy and it was raining hail. However, there was no thunder. I didn't understand going to take pictures. The weather didn't appeal :D I finally realized that if there was something to film. However, I don't know if there's anything wrong with these. Later I took pictures of the hail and the hailstones. ...

Sunset rays

The sun disappeared into the clouds after the circle photos I took. Suddenly I noticed a beautiful, shimmering crack in the clouds. I had to go see it. It was really cold downwind. Couldn't leave when it looked so beautiful. The sun shone through the clouds and probably made brown rays visible.

Corona

Low clouds came to spoil the expected sunset. I had to take pictures too early :) You can see a bit of the perimeter and a hint of a pillar.

In Illansuu, Cloudiness became suitable for seeing halos. I'm not sure about it now, but would there be another tire in addition to the 22r finally visible?

Pollen corona

It's not really possible to photograph the pollen ring with a phone. However, you could see with sunglasses and there was a lot of pollen and maybe other particles flying in the air.

Primary rainbow

28.5.2023 at 22.09 - 22.20 - Saarijärvi (IV)
Maritta Kinnunen

Can't say which surprised and delighted more. A rainbow or thick, sun-tinged clouds spoiling it. At first I noticed a small patch of rainbow on the right. I just managed to take a couple of pictures. The arc went out. At the same time, a thick mass of clouds began to push forward. The rainbow appeared again. It would have been visible whole, but it got tangled up in that strange cloud. Of course, I have often seen clouds gilded by the evening sun, but this one was somehow really massive. This situation was over quickly. Lucky that I happened to see :)

One halo form

A faint halo ring from the morning. The clouds started to pile up and after a while nothing could be seen anymore. It rained and shone alternately. Sometimes it seemed that a halo would develop. However, it doesn't seem to be. The clouds just got the same shapes. I'll add the "impersonator" pictures at the end :)

Several bright halo forms

Maritta Kinnunen

Well, now I got slightly different halo pictures :) the shape of the clouds affects it. The ring and upper side opening are visible. The one above is a bit strangely designed. It started showing up first. For a long time above it there was a cloud with a purple hue or like an arch. It was nice to get more beautiful pictures from time to time :)

Maritta Kinnunen

Again, nothing special. It almost always looks the same :) However, it was visible for several hours. Sometimes just part of the tire. I'll put two pictures at the end where you can only see color in the cloud. Is the tire flat or flat?

Before noon, the halo ring began to appear. Sometimes it was quite bright. Was on display for several hours. Maybe something is still visible. In the last picture there is a slight circle on the sun. You can't see it through the birch, but without the branches it would be even less visible. Addition. I went to check on the situation. That's how the halo was visible there :) I guess it's the upper side itself. I can't get the added image. Does not accept new ones, even click.

A halo ring was visible from time to time. I'll also put a couple of pictures of ordinary cloud rays. Even if we don't count them :)

The circle of the sun was a little squinted.

Perhaps observations. The sun glared too much and there were lens flares. The first picture may have the shape of a ring, or the clouds have acquired a ring-like pattern. Increase. I removed the lens flare pictures :)

Maritta Kinnunen

Of course, better halos may be visible during the day, but I'll put this one anyway. First I saw a colored spot and thought it was the side sun. I then noticed that the halo ring can be seen around the corner. As if there was a side sun with it. So can there be two side suns on the same side? Too bad the clouds were dazzling and I couldn't get accurate pictures. I tried to adjust the halos to be more visible. Well, you can't really do it on the phone. Addendum: I didn't see anything during the day. Totally clear.

In the morning, a solitary side sun was visible. During the day, the cloudiness varied and it already looked like there would be no halos. Finally, it started to look faintly like a ring. However, you only got color on the top. Bad pictures, but you can see something from them :)

A halo ring was visible for a long time. I'm attaching two pictures with an uncertain side sun. The last picture shows a colorful edge in the clouds. Would it be a cloud of color? I thought it was too close to the sun to be part of the 22 ring. Coloring would work. Well I do not know :)

I've been waiting for the halos to appear. Hasn't been in the sun or heard. I then photographed the circle of the moon again. The air was already very humid and the ring didn't turn out to be beautiful. Well no :D I went to take a couple more pictures. The moon was barely visible. It was palpably damp. Foreshadowing rain. I wonder what arc is visible on the moon. Maybe it can't be a halo when it's so dark.

Lunar corona

I have often photographed the rim of the moon, but not with this coloring and the tone of the sky. Looks cool. Maybe there is a different cloud in the background and some rays.

Iridescent clouds

18.4.2023 at 13.39 - Saarijärvi (III)
Maritta Kinnunen

Not a single cloud was visible in the sky all morning. The change in light made me notice a cloud that had passed in front of the sun. A cloud of color had developed. Nothing pretty. I followed it when it seemed to change. The best was ahead :) That dark curl looked really beautiful. It doesn't look the same in the pictures as when you look at it. Later, more clouds came and colored clouds could be seen here and there. Ps these pictures have a lot of details ;) reflections etc.
