Just came across this site today, and thought folks here might like it! Has some incredible images, along with great info and explanations of tons of atmospheric phenomena, things like rainbows, halos, Brocken Spectre, etc. (sounds like a typical Todd Caudle day!)


HA! Seriously though, cool site!!

Yeah, I did a Google search on "sun dogs" after I took this shot on Cottonwood Pass last September, and somebody said that's what it was. (Jim Salge, I think.) The search led to that site. Very cool place to kill some time and learn a few things.

That's an amazing photo! To be precise (my late thesis advisor would haunt me if i werent) that's part of the 22 degree halo, the sun dogs are the bright spots that sometimes occur either by themselves or with the arc.
