SkyWatch

One of the days during Easter had some special treats for me. First: This wonderful halo around the sun! It is the second time this year I have been lucky to see this fabulous phenomenon!

Photobucket

And later the same day, a nice sunset took place. The shot is taken from a bridge over the river Glomma. You can see there is still ice on the river.

The day after we had a heavy snowfall! I have been told that a halo around the sun predict bad weather - so I got my confirmation on that one!

Lovely sunset too.
