Massive Sundog over Joburg

[Cpt Jack Celliers]

There has been a massive Sundog over Joburg for the last hour or more. Its very rare to see a Sundog doing a full 360 degree halo around the sun. Anyone got a camera to post some pics? Don't forget to protect your eyes when looking near the sun.

Ok to be absolutely technically technical, its a 22° halo, not a halo.

Hi Guys

For the first time I got to play with my Blackberry Torch.

Here are some images I took of the halo around the sun:

saw it in grade 1, apparently means that there will be a lot of rain. something worth seeing now would be a moon version of this

Do not look directly at the sun.
You know this - I know this. We were taught not to look at the sun since we were babies....

So what did my dumbass just go do? I got sunburned frikken retinas!!
