This morning's optical phenomenon: a #Brocken #spectre around my head in #fog shortly after sunrise. It's unusual to see it at ground level - usually seen from aircraft over clouds. It's distinct from a #Heiligenschein, which produces a #halo around the observer's shadowed head from dew reflection.

Rain-o (by Bill Henderson, and after Chilliwack, 1970)
jazz progressive rock piece in the style of the Canadian band Chilliwack. Recorded 12 Oct 2024.
A song that's apparently little known outside Canada, but big on the west coast when albums on FM radio were still a new thing.
