ldquo;A Pair of Parheliardquo; br/While returning from a successful caribou hunt in northern Quebec (west of James Bay) our drive south rewarded us with atmospheric phenomena associated with a cold upper atmosphere. We were treated to Solar Halos and various arcs and things, but the image selected here is a pair of Sundogs. Technically known as ldquo;perhelionrdquo;, these mock suns, when visible, will be 22 degrees on either side of the Sun. Typically, the Sun shines too bright to image this phenomenon easily, but some interference by cloud cover can help, as in this image. The most difficult part of capturing this image was getting the driver of the vehicle to slow down.br/Details: November 26, 2011, the La Grande-Quatre Region of Northern Quebec.br/Canon 400D with Sigma lens at ISO 200, 1/640 sec., f/16, 18mm
