Halo around the moon

nice jim,denault said so keep them comming

Ring around a moon means trouble!

That's a bridge?!?!

Is this a star?

fog? or water?

It all seems so natural...I love the entire picture.

means trouble...but it is beautiful!!

Amazing!

love the path...

edward cullen's tree :) he always climb a tree :))

So pretty! I love how you say this is dangerous, yet it leads to something so beautiful. :)

A wonderful Halo around the moon over an old beat up bridge.
(a pretty dangerous one actually)

Eyjafjörður, Iceland

Very nice - the bridge in that light looks as though it should lead somewhere magical and somewhat dangerous.

Hey Helga, is that a Night shot??? Man it is too cool! And thinking about it, if I'm in the midlle of the summer here on south hemisphere, you guys should be in the middle of the winter, so that should be only moon light. Sorry about that, but I have to fave it. :-D

MindfullOfNature says:

wow! If you don't minds sharing your secret, what caused the halo? Also, is that star streaks across the sky? I assume it was caused by the length of the exposure.
Posted 37 months ago. ( permalink )

MindfullOfNature says:

I found out that the halo is caused by ice in the atmosphere. They also call them ice bows.

Spinywolf says:

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there's some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
