Sundogs, Maxeys Georgia
Sundogs at Maxeys, Georgia, USA January '03. Amy Bozarth-Shenkel has captured the essence of sundogs shining from high cirrus haze. When, as here, the sun is close to the horizon the dogs almost touch the 22° circular halo. They are sharp and coloured red towards the sun and then taper away into the parhelic circle. The display includes a diffuse upper tangent arc and faint upper and lower sun pillars. ©2003 Amy Bozarth-Shenkel, shown with permission.
