A quick look at a few photos
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Weather watchers across the First Coast capturedSundogs, also known as iridescent clouds, are optical phenomena that result from the refraction, dispersion and reflection of sunlight by ice crystals in the atmosphere. Plus, the upper-level clouds need to be relatively thin or just forming, keeping them transparent enough to allow the scattering of light through them, instead of blocking the sun rays completely out.
Sundogs are not only an atmospheric phenomena but, also a source of inspiration for photographers and 'skywatchers.'Sundogs are not an everyday occurrence, but with some awareness and with the right conditions, you can increase your chances of spotting and photographing them.
