Debra & Peter Ceravolo have done it again! Photo taken by Peter. Explanation thanks to Debra.
“The sunrise cast the shadow of our house onto the cloud below. The result was an atmospheric optical phenomenon called the Glory and caused by cloud droplets with the observer (camera) at the center. This is not a rainbow. The Glory is often seen from an airplane but sometimes from a mountain.”…Debra
