Circumhorizon Arc Fragment, Nova Scotia


  
Cirrus fragments lit by a circumhorizon arc, Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Imaged by Daniel Dupuis on 3rd July 2001 with the sun 66° high.

The CHA is so large that it often fills cirrus clouds with its bright colours. This close up shows well the high spectral purity of the colours.
