Solar Halo

Hove Beach

You can just see 2 points in this solar halo, either side of the sun.

A circular rainbow around the sun is known as a solar halo, which occurs when sunlight interacts with ice crystals in the atmosphere, typically found in thin, high-altitude clouds. This phenomenon creates a ring of light, often appearing at a 22-degree angle from the sun, and can sometimes display colors similar to a rainbow.

Florist

92nd St and Broadway, New York

I returned to my series on people working On Broadway while I was in New York. For this shot I wanted to capture the apple display outside, but the light and reflections weren’t working for me. Eventually I went inside for a portrait which will appear in On Broadway in due course.

i360 Reflections

i360, Brighton

The i360 is a tourist attraction offering views of Brighton, with a mirrored cafeteria at its base – I couldn’t resist taking a double selfie in its window even as I’ve resisted taking a ride in it for the 3 months we’ve been here. See the West Pier reflected in the background again.

Seaside Reflections

Brighton, UK

About 2½ weeks ago we returned to the UK, this time to Brighton. As democracy and civil rights in the US come more and more frighteningly under threat; and the current administration move us determinedly into a post-bellum isolationism, failing to understand the reasons for which the post-war institutional structures were built, or the impoverishment earlier civilisations endured when they turned inward, we thought it best to consider alternatives. Here we are, reflected in a shiny mirrored surface on the beach promenade on our first afternoon.
