I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life"

I'm certainly not there yet.  There is quite some way to go!

The Halo

 

Whilst out in Kaohsiung today, a couple of the Taiwanese guides were spooked by the meteorological phenomeon in the sky at lunchtime.

I managed only the bottom half of the rainbow which formed a complete circle around the sun, and of the second, larger one where the colours were more separate.

On our return to the ship, we all googled for a more detailed explanation than the “ice crystals” our guide had given us.  Here it is.

More from Kaohsiung later.
