Ring around the Moon

[merlinxlm]

Hello everyone, I was very lucky last night. I popped out to have a quick look to see what the weather was up to. And to my surprise, there was a ring encircling the moon. I ran back in to the house to get my camera to take a few pictures. In all my years I've never seen this phenomenon, it was so Beautiful. I hope you all like the pictures.

Thank you.

I think that is a moon halo. It's caused by ice crystals in the atmosphere reflecting and refracting some of the moon light. I guess it's a bit like rainbow
