Description
A shot of the spectacular display of solar halos over La Paz, Bolivia that lasted for several hours on 21st September 2022. Around the Sun is the relatively common 22º radius circular halo, below it (partially behind the buildings) is an unusually bright infralateral or circumhorizon arc. The fainter white circle above the Sun and passing through it is a parhelic circle (caused by the multiple reflection of light within ice crystals rather than refraction). This image was taken in Plaza Avaroa in the Sopocachi district; the monument is of Eduardo Avaroa /Abaroa, a national hero who was killed during the defence of the city of Calama (now in Chile) in 1879 at the start of the War of the Pacific (which saw Bolivia lose its coastal Litoral Province to Chile).
