After a couple of days of fine deaf clouds, this halo play, the 22-ring, the side sun, the horizon ring, and the second side sun of the third image appeared in the sky for a moment as the cloud ferry shifted. The whole show lasted only ten minutes in total.

While browsing old film camera images, I found this halo taken from an airplane in June 2005, I think it also shows the underside of the sun, is it possible?

That halo ring accompanied me all day. there is, referring to another simultaneous observation in Helsinki. The first picture was taken on the shore of Töölönlahti shortly after four. The second picture is earlier, at about 12.45.
