I am not 100% sure that atmospheric phenomenon and optics is actual weather, but on the other hand, I guess it would be since weather, I.E., rain and clouds, often cause some of the phenomenon.
So, I was wondering who else here looks for Halos and Rainbows and Iridescent clouds and the like? If you do, show your stuff! Ever see any of the rare stuff?

I was going to post this last night in my OP, but my host was acting up. Anyway, here is one more from Halloween night that has a couple things going on

One that I was fortunate to finally put away this year was the capture of a fog bow. Rather than repost material, everyone's contribution to that thread is worth another look.

The two volcanic eruptions we've experienced over the past two years have been a pretty good and rare opportunity.
