Nature is full of surprises! Here on the 10,000-ft high summit of Haleakala on Maui, #Hawaii, near sunset two atmospheric phenomena known as the glory (or Brocken Spectre) and fogbow, form by fog, low angle sunlight, and my own shadow. Being a science photographer I have captured them many times in the past but not as clear as this occasion. In mythology the Glory was often represented the observer's personal enlightenment (Buddha's light in China for instance). @natgeo @natgeocreative #atmospheric #glory #science #maui #haleakala #brockenspectre
