Another sun halo over Kuching sky. 28th July 2008.
At first it was a phenomenon that was hardly ever seen in Kuching in living memory and then it happened again a couple of months later. That was last year and this year again it was spotted again a couple of times which I didn’t bother to take a photo of as it was kinda unpleasantly glaring to be staring into the bright sky. Shooting directly into the sun cannot be good for one’s eyes or the CCD of one’s digital camera.
Sun halo captured from the jetty at my house. The trees make for an interesting foreground.
Anyway on the way home for lunch (and a nap!) I received a couple of sms to “look at the sky/sun” and another one after I had my lunch. So instead of heading for my sofa for a snooze; I headed outside to take a couple of snaps of the sun halo - if it’s still there; and it was. It lingered on unlike the other two previous occasions. So this is what I sacrified my lunch nap for. I hope you think it’s worth it and I hope there’s no more sun halo at lunch time tomorrow, please! I love my naps but I just can’t resist beautiful women skies.
At times like this, I really wished I have a DSLR as this would make for a nice large photograph. *Sigh*
