Sunvex Parry

This display was photographed on 4th December by Liisa Eronen in Kulho, Kontiolahti, Finland. The temperature was around -4°C. Nearest ski center is located about 10 km away, so most likely this was caused by snow guns.

  3. Got some more info from the photographer and edited the post accordingly. 2 Dec Aho had a nice display in Himos, 3 Dec Mikkilä the monster column display in Sotkamo and now this 4 Dec in Kontiolahti. Nice row!

  4. Nice low sun display indeed I can see faint arc rising up from parhelion and curving towards where the upper suncave parry would be.

    Believe it or not I have been photographing halos for 10 years and have only gotten two nice example of convex parry. The one time I got simultaneous concave and convex parry arcs which is a rare catch along with elliptical halos. I think 2009 was the best halo year for me.
