Halo’s around our sun or moon, are ice thin clouds, known as cirrus clouds. They hover roughly 18,000 feet or 5,500 meters. They are some of the most dramatic cloudscapes are planet has to offer. They come in all shapes & forms, not just around the sun or moon. For years I've been fascinated with all cloud formations, especially cirrus clouds. For they are in the group of highest clouds, in our atmosphere. There is strong evidence, that many of earths ancient symbology’s, mythological forms, such as dragons, come from our heavenly skies.
This photo was taken in Niigata, Japan, on the beach today.
As a professional photographer, light is everything, in my field. Ive travelled around our planet countless times, always paying close attention to our skies.

Happy Zen Photography
