Description
A fine solar halo above a pylon of the Linea Amarilla / Yellow Line cable car line in La Paz, Bolivia, taken on 30th September 2022. This is the relatively common 22º radius circular halo, caused by the refraction of sunlight as it passes through millions of hexagonal ice crystals in the upper atmosphere. The Yellow Line opened in 2014 and was the second of several cable car lines to be built in the cities of La Paz and El Alto. The network currently consists of 10 lines and is 30.6km / 19 miles long, the largest urban Cable-Propelled Transit (CPT) system in the world. It is also the highest - central La Paz is at an altitude of around 3650m / 11,970ft, El Alto 4,050m / 13,280ft.
