Interesting that info Singemonkey. Those sundogs also pretty incredible. Can you imagine all the tales, myths, superstitions that went along with THIS!
Yeah. I'd love to see a sundog.
I first learned a little about this stuff from this wonderful columnist in Outdoor Photographer (who unfortunately died in a plane crash in 2001 - after which the quality of the magazine declined). He was fascinated by all these phenomena.
He had a picture of his wife's plane, taken from
inside the plane as a giant version reflected in the sky. He also showed pictures of climbing buddies projected to titanic size in the mist on top of mountains. He certainly attributed some of the legends of mountain giants and gods to that phenomenon (although I can't remember what that one was called, or how it works).
