This stunning print captures a mesmerizing optical phenomenon in the heart of Alberta, Canada. On January 3,2014, at the end of a snow-covered country road, a solar halo encircles the radiant Sun. The ethereal glow is enhanced by a colored upper tangent arc that gracefully extends from the faint halo. The image showcases nature's artistry as ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere create this display. Against a backdrop of bare trees and tire tracks on the snowy ground, the rural scene exudes tranquility and serenity. As sunlight passes through these ice crystals, it undergoes refraction and forms a prism-like effect. This refracted light gives birth to an intricate halo around our celestial star - an atmospheric glory known as an ice halo or icebow. The luminous corona surrounding the Sun adds to its mystique while casting its brilliance upon the clear winter sky. The cold temperature enhances this picturesque scenery, making it even more enchanting. Alan Dyer's photography skillfully captures this rare event with precision and artistry. His lens unveils not only natural beauty but also invites us to contemplate our place within this vast universe. Let yourself be captivated by this awe-inspiring moment frozen in time – where science meets wonder amidst Alberta's scenic landscapes.
