Here`s a link telling you what Sundogs are,
Weather Elements: Sun Dogs (http://www.islandnet.com/~see/weather/elements/sundog.htm)
and here are some Sundogs I was lucky enough to see recently! I thought I was all lucked out after seeing a daytime FIREBALL meteor over my house a while back, massive that was too!! I must be on a roll :) These pictures are quite bright but I didn`t want to alter them in any way but if you tilt your screen away from you just a bit, you can see just how colourful they were. They just looked like free floating rainbows. Amazing....

Oh wow, that is amazing. I'd never heard of them either. Beautiful...I wish I'd seen them. Maybe I will someday. I also really want to see ball lightning..I think that is the coolest concept ever.

Believe it or not, I`ve seen that too, right over my house! :) A buzzing, crackling ball that moved slowly at first and was then at the horizon in seconds, amazing. I think I attract weird stuff lol

My fave is when my dogs want out for a late night wee wee and I get to see the most awesome meteor ever just at that moment.

I`m often out until four o`clock with my huge telescope, I see lots of stuff like that but it never gets any less awsome. I`ll have to show you guys some of my work :) I`ve photographed some pretty amazing stuff in my time....

Why Scary??

I would board a ship and leave without even asking where we are going....

My dad was a farmer, he used to tell me sundogs foretold a weather change for the worse. Usually that it was going to turn colder. Nice Pics Feebo!

Some fantastic clouds here at the moment too but they don`t seem to photograph very well. I might try and process what I`ve got a little later to try and pull it out. I could get right into my clouds....

It would be utter chaos if that happened unfortunatly. Sounds like a good subject for an interesting offtopic thread to me! :)
