Huge halo around the sun in the late afternoon, over Cape Cod Bay in Wellfleet, Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
A very rare natural phenomenon - to see such a halo so clearly. Caused by ice crystals in the upper atmosphere.
An argument to carry your camera with you at all times, you never know what you will see!
