Ring around the sun


Portland Beaver's catcher Michel Hernandez sits in the dugout underneath a rainbow colored ring around the sun during a game on Wednesday. The condition is similar to what happens when a rainbow is formed after a rainstorm, only ice crytals in the cirrus level of the atmosphere, around 25,000 feet, refract sunlight and form a corona around the sun.

I saw this happen on Tuesday at my house and thought it looked cool, so when I was in the dugout during the game Wednesday and looked up, I thought this might make an interesting photo, I wish it would haved lasted long enough for me to shoot someone on deck or standing with a bat in theier hands or something, but it only was there about 5 minutes before the clouds rolled in.
