Description

MARIN COUNTY, CA — Patch reader Stan Lappen captured these photos of a natural phenomenon known as the moon or winter halo in front of his home in the Hamilton area of Novato. The ring with an apparent radius of approximately 22 degrees is formed as direct sunlight or moonlight is refracted in millions of hexagonal ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. Thanks for sharing! If you have an awesome picture of nature, breathtaking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch. We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty that is Marin County, and that show off your unique talents. Send your photos to [email protected]. Be sure to include photo credit information, when and where the shot was taken, and any other details about what was going on.
