There was much excitement around town today when the halo around the sun was spotted… and of course I had to RUN to my car to grab my camera. Seriously wish I had a proper wide angle lens for it though, but I think you can get the idea. The halo around the sun first appeared as a rainbow, but by the time I got back to take a photo, the rainbow had changed into this bright line around the sun.
I see the Wikipedia page explaining about the 22deg halo has already been updated with a photo of the halo from this morning.

It was amazing !!
I saw this all over Facebook. It must have been a stunning sight.
Aah so “that” is what it looked like. I was driving from Badplaas to Pretoria at the time and stopping on the N4 was not a good idea.
