Brocken Spectre and Glory 1/6/2007 near Yarra Glen, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. © Copyright Ern Mainka Brocken Spectre and Glory ....The Brocken Spectre is the three dimensional shadow at the centre. It is dark air extending from the person/photographer all the way into the distance. Brocken shadows look triangular and large because of this. ....Glories (similar looking to a rainbow) form by diffraction, reflection and refraction of sunlight through water/mist droplets. Their formation involves surface waves as well as internal reflections. The number of rings and their angular extent is a function of the size distribution of the water droplets that compose clouds. With larger droplets the rings are more tightly packed. The clearer the colors appear in the fringes, the tighter the size distribution of the droplets (closer to one single size). Glories are polarized radially in the outer color fringes but tangentially in the center. / - / Brocken Spectre / A Brocken spectre (German Brockengespenst), also called Brocken bow or mountain spectre is the apparently enormously magnified shadow of an observer, when the Sun is low, cast upon the upper surfaces of clouds. If the observer is in an aeroplane, the shadow of the aeroplane is cast. The phenomenon can appear on any misty mountainside or cloud bank, but the frequent fogs and low-altitude accessibility of the Brocken, a peak in the Harz Mountains in Germany, have created a local legend. The spectre was observed and described by Johann Silberschlag in 1780, and has since been recorded often in literature about the region. The ‘Spectre’ appears when the sun shines from behind a climber who is looking down from a ridge or peak into mist. The light projects the climber’s shadow forward through the mist, often in an odd triangular shape due to perspective. The apparent magnification of size of the shadow is an optical illusion that occurs when the observer judges his shadow on relatively nearby clouds to be at the same distance as faraway land objects seen through gaps in the clouds. The shadow also falls on water droplets of varying distances from the eye, confusing depth perception. The ghost can appear to move (sometimes quite suddenly) because of the movement of the cloud layer. The head of the figure is often surrounded by the glowing halo-like rings of a glory (Heiligenschein), rings of coloured light that appear directly opposite the sun when sunlight is reflected by a cloud of uniformly-sized water droplets. ....More here .

A Circumhorizon Arc bursts forth in brightness and color, over the Pine Barrens of New Jersey,during late May, 2008. For Circumhorizon Arcs (CHA’s) to be visible, a series of perfect conditions must be met. First there must be plate crystals in the atmosphere, and the quality of these crystals must have gemlike perfection. The atmosphere must be stable enough, have the right moisture content, temperture and water particle size for the crystals to grow just right. The best CHA’s have many large plate crystals. Larger crystal take longer to form. But having perfect plate crystals is not enough. These plate crystals now must align horizontally with each other and the ground below. The crystals need to act like a giant prism. If this was not enough, the Sun must be at least 58 degrees in altitude, and CHA’s peak in brightness when the Sun is at 68 degrees in altitude. So it is only when the Sun is highest in the sky, during the time closest to the Summer Solstice, do we get to see these wonderful Arcs. Circumhorizon Arcs only form in Cirrus Clouds, and not many Cirrus Clouds have Circumhorizon Arcs. Best Viewed Large / Please visit my Atmospheric Optics Gallery / Or visit my website Cometman.com

Clouds wrap around the face / I show you every day. / They grey my world and / Take my voice away. I am the storm / I am the wind. / I am the darkness that descends. When my sky is flowers I have nothing to say. / When my sky is death I cannot speak. / The storm that is me / Never ends. / Corel Painter Essentials 4.
optical – information provided by wikipedia:
Op art, also known as optical art, is a genre of visual art, especially painting, that makes use of optical illusions. Op art is also known as geometric abstraction and hard-edge abstraction, although the preferred term for it is perceptual abstraction. "Optical Art is a method of painting concerning the interaction between illusion and picture plane, between understanding and seeing." Op art works are abstract, with many of the better known pieces made in only black and white. When the viewer looks at them, the impression is given of movement, hidden images, flashing and vibration, patterns, or alternatively, of swelling or warping.RedBubble is a great place to find art, design, photos and writing from over 80,000 talented people.
