Callanish and Sundogs June 2022 Placemat

About the Artwork 

The end of a dreamy Hebridean day in early June and the slowly setting sun creates Sundogs - rainbows at about 22° left and right on the edge of a Sun Halo. Thanks to Ice crystals in the whispy high level cloud.

One of the most amazing things about living in the Outer Hebrides is how much there is to observe and learn. Sundogs are quite a common occurrence and not just here, but I'd never heard of them before I moved here and certainly didn't know how they were formed. 'A sundog is a concentrated patch of sunlight occasionally seen about 22° to the left or right of the Sun. Sundogs often form in pairs on either side of our daytime star when sunlight refracts through icy clouds containing hexagonal platecrystals aligned with their large, flat faces parallel to the ground' - skyandtelescope.com
