There are some famous historic halo displays, which are documented in the
literature and therefore well known among halo observers. I'm not an
expert
in history, but last September I got an surprising present. My parents
came back from a holiday trip to Scandinavia. On their tour they
eventually
visited a church in the Swedish capital Stockholm and found an interesting
painting there. They know about my interest in halos and bought me a
picture
postcard with this picture.
You see a wonderful halo display with a lot of rare halo types on it.
The painting is astonishing accurate, you can determine most of the halo
types without problems. Only the arcs above the 22 degree circle look
a bit strange to me.
I don't know, whether this painting is published already somewhere. I
attach
a short JPEG file of it at the end of the message, so that you can enjoy
the beautiful display yourself.
An image with the double resolution is available at our Web site under
