Monster Sun
Italy, on Sep 13, 2003

At 10:20 AM I captured this, experimenting with a wide-angle added, with the sky not quite clear and some clouds. The second done this afternoon at 6.05 PM, and two more images later.

Here we see the Red Persona at 3 o'clock, with a grouping of the bending red light personas that often form the Monster Sun at left. As the day progresses, these move around the dial to appear at upper left and finally upper right. In sunset, an Occulted Sun can be seen, as the Red Persona has also moved around the dial to be beneath the Sun.
