smile in the sky

circumzenithal arc over Camp Celo

Carly Todd sent in this circumzenithal arc that was spotted from Camp Celo at 2:52 pm on July 18.  The phenomenon is caused by the refraction of sunlight as it passes through ice crystals high in the atmosphere.  The arc is a part of a circle with its center on the sun.  This one graced the first day of third session at camp.
