Halos over the Queen Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace, London. Imaged by Simon Lericque with an 8mm fish-eye lens.
The sun is shielded by the bronze effigy of winged victory. Surrounding it is a weak 22° halo and the upper part of a circumscribed halo. The white parhelic circle passes through the sun and encircles the sky at its altitude. There are traces of white 120° parhelia.
