On Friday the Carter - Hutton clan needed an outing! We decided to visit Groot Constantia for a run and a play on the huge open lawns there. We also went for a stroll through the vineyards - the first time I've ever done that, I am ashamed to say.
While we were there Bryce noticed this in the sky:
A distinct halo around the sun.
We were quite amazed and took a few pics. Being into the sun you can't look at it for long and I wasn't sure if my camera would cope but they didn't come out too badly.
Lisa, the diligent lady that she is, Googled it and found out that it is an atmospheric phenomenon called a sundog that occurs as a result of high cirrus clouds passing over. In this case those clouds are apparently in Botswana! It is fairly uncommon.
In the article I read earlier it also talks about ice particles with the cirrus clouds, anyway, it was quite amazing to see.
Some other pics of the day:
About 5 minutes after arriving Niave's shoes looked like this:
