Was driving back to the Springs from Breckenridge this afternoon and saw another Sun Halo over Quandary Peak, after about 10 minutes a second halo appeared. I pulled out the 15mm fisheye and got this photo. It wasn't as bright as the one I shot a couple weeks ago, but I was able to get the full circles this time

You could almost argue that this is a triple, with the mirrired halo at the top of the outer ring. Never noticed that effect before. Very cool shot!

That is a really cool shot, Scott. A little work to brighten it up, and it's a keeper.

22 degrees and 46 degrees--sweeeet!

This is a terrific catch.
A little more judicious postprocessing will really help make this one shine!

Okay, Scott. That's just not right. These things are *not* that common...
I like the actual image produced by this one more than I like the previous one, though the others are more complete. This one's missing the major arc and the sundogs, as well as part of the top arc complex.
