| Fogbow & Glory Imaged by Marc Herpers ©Marc Herpers, shown with permission |
| A striking image. The sun shines through thin fog and its myriad tiny droplets scatter and diffract its light back to eye and camera. Directly opposite the sun is a colourful ringed glory. A huge fogbow surrounds it. The fogbow appears double, the inner ring is the first supernumerary. In a perfect fogbow (but this one is perfect!) the supernumeraries crowd inwards all the way to the glory. The glory and fogbow are one, all part of the same diffraction process. |
