Auck - Ring around the moon (20 May)

[Donor]

If you haven't seen it already, go out and look at the moon - freaky HUGE ring round it at the moment.

Apologies if you can't see it - and my shitty camera can't pan back enough to get a pic, but damn it's awesome and freaky!

Been told what this actually is i the past but really cant remember now. looks cool tho huh normally quite easy to see when your far away form the main stages and towns. saw it really bright one random night fishing off the beach at 4am in opotiki was amazing.

Not a wives tale, it's the approaching fronts out in the Tasman. The lead in to the front is the high level cloud. As the cloud gets lower (alto stratus), it will look like looking through frosted glass

The non-trouser based 'un...

sadly its most often caused by pollution/smog thin layers of such trapped between diferent temprature pockets of air...is cause by other reason from time to time...can't remeber totally what they are....must suck breathing in the air up there!! ;)

Funny you should mention that... hasn't a certain fellow in red camo gear recently been having a buy up of filthy smelly 2 stroking bikes?

Hmmm... no carbon credits for HIM!

Had friends out for dinner in the country.... they loved the clear view of the moon and it rather large halo.

Tis a lovely sight indeed.
