| Parry & Tangent Arcs Caught between apartment bocks in Vancouver by Marc Picco. All images ©Marc Picco, shown with permission |
| Close-up of the upper tangent and upper sunvex Parry arcs. The glow of the upper tangent always extends over the Parry arc. The latter is a sub-set of the upper tangent in the sense that Parry oriented crystals are a special case of the singly oriented columns that make tangent arcs. |
HaloSim ray tracing to show the Parry arcs in context. At low sun the upper Parry/upper tangent group can be huge. |
