Solar halos and autumn leaves
The weather is getting colder and the skies these days are filled with cirrus clouds - perfect for ice halo displays. Especially now that the density is low, the patterns can change by the minute and you never know what's going to show up next.
I took a couple of photos flying over Poland a few weeks back and haven't had a chance to put them up until now. These are parhelic circles, and I've only seen these once before. If you're lucky they can wrap the whole sky, with a number of special nodes like these. Anyway, these were the shots I got from the plane, as we descended through the lower layers of cloud.

I went out for a photography session a few days ago in the English garden and as I was heading out I spotted the tail-end of a circumzenithal arc, like an upside-down rainbow wrapping the zenith. This soon disappeared, but as the sun set further a couple of strong sundogs appeared. Walking around with the fantastic colours of the leaves, I headed to the lake in the hope of seeing a reflection of the sun and sundogs and was not disappointed:

Heading back to the English garden with friends and colleagues yesterday afternoon the light was perfect and I got a few nice Autumnal shots:

Awesome photos! I wish I was there!!!
Amazing set of photos, love them all. Wish we have four seasons here too.
The pictures are beautiful. It's been a while since I said that about pictures. But you don't retouch your pictures, do you? And if I may ask, what camera are you using?
Kind of funny knowing that they are from the same park that I have seen so many times.
Hi Tacki, thank you for the comment. In fact the pictures of the reflected sundog (with the trees) are altered because it's very hard to capture both the sundog and the areas of shadow with a single photo. I do tend to retouch my photos but try not to overdo it too much.
The camera is a Canon 7D and most of these photos are taken with a 10-20mm sigma lens or a canon 70-300.
Very strange, I didn't I promise, but it did disappear automatically, as did the next one. I receive them as emails but they are not here when I look. I will happily post them up here if you would like. It seems for some reason that blogger is deleting them automatically. This is not my doing, I promise.
Great post and great photos
Trekking in Nepal is not at all like anyplace in the Himalayas supplemented by clear air, perspectives of green farmland belts, timberlands, blooming rhododendrons, riverside strolls, and above all in light of the fact that it is trekking in the mood of world's most noteworthy mountain Mt. Everest .
