Music and contemporary performing arts come together in the avant-garde complex of L’Atlà ntida de Vic, but its exterior, taking advantage of the spaciousness of the terrain, is a good point of observation of meteorological phenomena.
On rainy days we can contemplate spectacular rainbows. And, on this occasion, we see in these snapshots in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia the solar halo.
The solar halo forms around the sun presenting an iridescent ring on its outer circumference, due to ice crystals when there are high clouds.
The halo is caused by ice particles suspended in the troposphere that refract light, generating a spectrum of colors around the sun.
It is an optical effect in the shape of a disk around the Sun —it also occurs on the Moon— and it presents an iridescent ring on its outer circumference.
