Hello!
The list is very quiet. I don't know if I have been unsubscribed but
certainly I haven't received anything for a long time.
My job requires me to go traveling by air quite a few times a year, and I
always try to make it a point to get a window seat during daytime trips.
I
always enjoy looking out to spot halos and sundogs while in the air. Any
reason why halos seem to be more prominent when one is airborne? The
inner
dark region seems to be much darker when seen higher up.
Another thing I noticed while flying a few weeks back when the sun wasn't
still so high in the sky (about 9:00 a.m. local time), was that the top of
some cumulus clouds had some thin wisps that were colored with the colors
of
the rainbow. These clouds were opposite the sun's position in the sky.
It
was quite nice seeing such dainty clouds having such colors. The thin
wispy
clouds above the cumulus clouds showed these colors, but not the puffy
cumulus clouds beneath or else scattered around.
Anybody else notice these things when airborne?
