Image cropped and sensor adjusted to 2500K thru Canon software to bring out the green I was seeing. Actually, the color was even stronger with the eye - an emerald green. |

PhotographerMiguel ClaroLocationAlmada -PortugalDate26-04-08 at 13h00EquipmentCanon Powershot 550 - ISO 80 F-7.1 , 1/640sDescriptionToday 26-04-08 in Almada, the neighboring city of Lisbon, only separate for the Tagus river, i could watch a gret atmospheric effect as known by "Ice Halo".That is an atmospheric optical phenomenon mostly associated with the refraction of sunlight by small ice crystals making up cirrus or cirrostratus clouds. In the image we can see the portuguese Christ King silhouette, seemed to that it exists in Brazil( i use is right arm to blocking part of the sun light) and below in the image we can see part of the "Ice Halo" effect |
