Michael,

Looks like you got a real nice display! You'll notice that as you become aware of optical light shows
in the daytime, they seem to become more frequent ;-). These things are always camera-shy. I
normally bring my camera most places I go. Last Friday morning, there was this beautiful and
intense half halo in the sky, and guess what, I left my camera at home :(.

Guess I'll have to be contented with the memory!
