I Took A Photo On My Way Back From The Mojave Road, What on earth is this???

[Boston Mangler]

Saw this today driving back from the Mojave Road (detail writeup later)

Giant, perfectly symetrical ring around the sun, what is it???

The ring was MUCH more apparent in person and not through the camera!

Solar Halo according to Ed on EP. Bitchen photo bro.

We used to call it a "sun dog" when we lived in Alaska.
Story was that you would get some sort of precipitation,
(rain or snow) within a day or two.

Call it coincidence, it's raining. Sweet, we need this.

yep, water vapor in the atmosphere.

When I lived in squaw, we'd see them all the time, and like SD said, precipitation follows.

great shots though. What camera did you use for that?
