The sudden appearance of a full icebow or sundog (parhelion) above the skies of Langkawi yesterday caught the attention of the people on the island. Photographers and participants at the Langkawi International Dialogue (LID) snapped away the image of a rainbow-like halo encircling the sun at about 2.40 pm, before it disappeared about 20 minutes later.
An Icebow is a phenomenon similar to a rainbow, except that it is formed by the refraction of sunlight through cloud-suspended ice crystals, instead of raindrops or water drops suspended in the air. The ice crystals are from cirrus clouds and have to be of the type with a large radius for the phenomenon to take place. - Bernama

Thanks for the complements. Those photo’s aren’t really taken by me. A guy named Syahrin Aziz (who was my wedding photographer) took those shots. He’s an amazing guy.
I’m always open for opportunities. We should talk.
