This stunning solar halo appeared in the sky above Ostersund, Sweden.
A photographer captured this beautiful solar halo to mark the winter solstice; the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
“I picked up my camera and my drone and drove to a spot where I knew I would get the city and the halo together,” he says. “Also the battery drain on the drone can be challenging in cold weather so you need to work quite fast.”Another image of the same halo taken with a Nikon Z9 camera and the Nikon Z 14-24mm f/2,8 S lens | Goran Stand
Remarkably, the photo was taken at noon local time with Earth’s star barely making it over the horizon in the middle part of Sweden.
