EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the mesmerizing beauty of sundogs and a halo against the backdrop of silhouetted trees in Finland. The Sun, surrounded by a circular halo, shines brightly as two sundogs appear on its left and right sides. These incredible atmospheric phenomena occur when light from the Sun or Moon is refracted by ice crystals present in the air. The image perfectly showcases nature's optical illusion, with the blue sky serving as a canvas for this display. The silhouette of trees adds depth to the composition, enhancing the overall visual appeal. It highlights how climate and meteorological conditions can create extraordinary effects that leave us in awe. Taken in Finland, part of Scandinavia known for its stunning landscapes and unpredictable weather patterns, this photograph exemplifies both natural wonder and scientific curiosity. It reminds us of our fascination with atmospheric phenomena and their ability to transform ordinary moments into extraordinary experiences. With impeccable clarity and attention to detail, Science Photo Library has captured this rare occurrence outdoors. This print serves as a reminder of how optics play an essential role in understanding our surroundings while also showcasing the unique beauty found within our atmosphere.
