Glory and Brocken Spectre

A Glory is the rainbow halo formed when sunlight is refracted and reflected back towards the observer from water droplets in a cloud

A Brocken spectre is the enlarged shadow cast on low lying clouds by a low lying sun.

Words can't describe how strange and beautiful it looked for real.
