Description
Part of a fine solar halo above the La Madre Patria / Motherland monument in the central Avenida 16 de Julio / El Prado avenue 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 bronze monument is 3m / 10ft high and was made by the famous French sculptor Henry Allouard in 1901. It depicts a woman holding a sword and wearing a crown of laurel (a symbol of victory) on her head.
