Driving home from up north last Friday evening, I took this photo of a prominent sundog in the darkening western sky.

Imagery of Light 
Almost surreal – very cool!! 🙂
thanks Holly – yes it looked strange… the image is a bit dark and grainy.
Great minds Sheila – I have a sky shot today too 🙂 This is great – I love sundogs but haven’t seen one for a couple of years. This is beautiful – especially with the lovely shape of the clouds.
thanks Meanderer… they are neat to see, hard to capture though.
Gorgeous sky!!! I love the different lines in the clouds. 🙂
thanks Ted – they are a bit unusual with all the swirls.
beautiful but a little creepy!
I know what you mean Nigel – a tad ominous…
fantastic pattern!
isn’t nature wonderful?
Beautiful skyscape! Being awkward as I am, I’d crop the top to cut out the featureless sky that occurs above that sensationally S curving cloud formation – I would crop it where the top of the S cloud formation hits the left frame of the photo. I’m awkward, I know! Adrian
I know what you mean Adrian. I took some tighter shots but I kinda like the blue, so I left it in..
Stunning!!!:-)
thanks aj. 🙂
Gorgeous capture 🙂
thanks Lu – it’s always neat to see them – having a camera is the trick! I needed my tripod for this, really, but alas had left it at home.
Wow Sheila, this is truly magical !
thanks Carola – it was a lucky capture.
Strangely beautiful, I’ve never seen clouds like this before.
they are rather unusual…
