Tom
I’ll remember that.
That is a gorgeous picture. It makes me wish I’d been there.
Are you the photographer? Very cool ![]()
Sorry no,but I just loved the picture and we’ve spent a lot of time climbing in Glencoe ![]()
I believe that halo is caused by moonlight hitting ice high up in the atmosphere… err, something to that affect. Every once in a while I’ll see them here as well.
Was there rain?
In Glencoe?
It is to laugh! ![]()
It’s a 22° halo and it’s caused by refraction of moonlight by ice crystals in a particular orientation. You get similar haloes round the sun too. Here’s a bit of one from my garden.

Will the sun rise in the morning?
Is the Pope Catholic?
Do Bears S#*t in the woods?
There’s always rain in Glencoe ![]()
Great omelette recipe Steve. Thanks
You forgot “Do one-legged ducks swim in circles?” ![]()
I told you it had to do with ice-crystals, Steve’s the man, he nailed it on the head.
But I thought it was, does the pope sh*t in the woods?
And do one-legged bears cook omelettes in Glencoe? ![]()
