bright romance

Ice halos captured towards the end of a flight from Bangkok to Singapore. Flying through cirrus layers, a 22 degree halo appeared, joined by sundogs, which turned sharply into Parhelic arcs, vanished just as quickly - but followed by this beauty - a lower tangent arc (column crystals, light passing through the sides), normally hidden below the horizon: The arms of the arc only cross like this when the sun is about 15 degrees above the horizon. It lasted just a few seconds...
...but I was waiting!
