Overhead Arc ~ A circumzenithal arc captured over London, England by Sam Naylor with his 'phone camera. 'Phone cameras are not yet atmospheric optics friendly but this shot is superb. Note the reflection in the office windows and the halo's very pure spectral colours. With a picture like this we can really believe that the arc is indeed pinioned on the zenith. ©Sam Naylor, shown with permission.
