Moon Halo

Posted in Astronomy, photography, weather with tags , , on January 26, 2010 by ufoznbacon

There is a winter storm approaching in a day or so that is supposed to bring lots of ice and or snow and I can’t help but believe that this halo is a harbinger if such nasty phenomena.  See, this halo is caused by ice crystals in the upper atmosphere reflecting light from the moon.

The reflection in this pond is almost mirror like, I had to stop in the middle of the road to get a shot.

The hill

Looking east down the hill.

Looking west up the hill.

Tomorrow I go to the polls to vote for the county commissioner in my district.  The new one is bound to do a better job than what we have had recently, while he is at it maybe he can widen the road over this blind hill.  I just hope we the voters make the right decision.

See, this is not a pot hole that might ruin a tire or throw your alignment out, this will injure or kill somebody someday.  In normal weather it’s at best two lanes when the snow and ice is on it’s one lane and very scary when you meet up with another vehicle on it.

Do the right thing and fix it please new Mr. County Commissioner.

I stopped downtown yesterday on my way home from work to take a few shots with my fisheye lens and here a few of the passable ones that I came up with.  As always click the pics for the full hi-res version.
