Eiffel tower with solar halo:
A 22 degree solar halo, caused by ice crystals in the
upperatmosphere, hangs around the Eiffel tower. Having
an interest inatmospheric optics, it's always a joy to capture such
a halo, but tosee one in such a stunning location was truly
amazing. The patternswhich can appear in the sky caused by the
reflections and reflectionsof sunlight through ice, water and dust are as
varied as they arespectacular. This picture is taken using a six frame
panorama, eachframe of which has been tone-mapped to bring out
the detail of thetower, while not losing the colours of the halo.
