Description
A fine solar halo above a palm tree in the Plaza del Estudiante, 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. There are also some wonderful wipsy high altitude cirrus clouds (with which halos commonly occur), almost giving the halo the appearance of being on fire.
