Fogbow plus, Indonesia
Muhammad Rafi Hadytama caught this fogbow at Mount Bromo, Mt. Bromo National Park.
The day, April 28th '13 was full of sightings - "I saw 5 atmospheric phenomena in less than 12 hours from before sunrise until almost midday. I was there to watch the sunrise over the Bromo mountains from one of the ridges. From there I saw a lunar corona, one of the clearest I've seen. Then, when the sun had risen there were crepuscular rays. There was also a belt of Venus. It stretched from between the solar and antisolar points, climbed towards the antisolar point, and then descended again on the opposite site.
Not long after sunrise, we went down from the mountain ridge towards the Bromo mountain itself. Mt. Bromo is quite a unique location. The mountain, along with several other mountains, is located inside a larger crater created from an ancient eruption. So, I went down to that crater which was covered by quite a thick fog. I realized if there's a fog, there should be a fogbow present. And it was! After that there was even a 22-degree radius halo.
