Amazing sundog captured by my old but trusty point and shoot digi-cam.

APAD 339: A magical moment

Here’s another sundog photo my husband took last Sunday. I know, I could not get over the giddiness yet 🙂 so pardon me.

A magical (double) sundog moment for me right there.

Sundogs are not so common – but are also not rare – in my part of the world. I have read stories about sundogs, it’s mystical nature and the many beliefs of many cultures surrounding this natural phenomenon. Seeing one for the first time last week was just pure magic. I am still in awe.

Thank you, Mother Nature, for letting me see one of your grand displays. Truly a memorable one.

You can find the story here at Sreisaat Adventures.

One Sunday mid-morning, when my husband, brother and I were outdoors flying kites in Prey Sbov, just outside of Phnom Penh, Mother Nature treated us with this spectacular solar phenomenon:

Is this a double sundog? What a stunning creation of Mother Nature!

That’s a full sundog and a circumzenith arc.
It was my first time to see a sundog and I took it as an opportunity to record this phenomenon in pictures. Other photos can be found in my blog, Sreisaat Adventures.

It is not common in this part of the world but also not rare as there have been sightings in the past. Perhaps we’re too busy to notice, eh?
