… because you’ll never know what to expect.
Was taking a nice, slow walk back home when suddenly I felt this strange urge to look at the sky. (Usually, I don’t bother since I’m in cloud kuku land when strolling about, and also attempting to dodge cars and all … which I nearly got hit by one actually, but that’s a different story altogether.)
So, I gazed up and saw this magnificent lunar halo smiling down at me.
Lunar Halo with Orion’s belt 45 degrees to the top right.
Captured on an Canon EOS 450D, F3.5 + 20s shutter speed.
It was quite a massive halo, spanning a large area of the sky. Hurrah for wide-angle lenses. I managed to capture the entire halo along with some surrounding constellations.
The halo had faded considerably by the time I reached home and retrieved my camera, but enjoy what’s left of it. (;
I didn’t think it’s possible to see surrounding constellations with a full moon in Asia! :O
Haha, you can! You just have to squint really hard. (; Thankfully, it’s pretty dark at my rooftop garden so there wasn’t much light pollution in the way.
