Still Waters Posted November 21, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 21, 2018 A hillwalker has described her experience of a weather effect, known as a brocken spectre, above the clouds on Bidean nam Bian in Glen Coe. The effect is produced when a person is able to stand above the upper surface of a cloud with the sun behind them. In the past, the phenomenon was thought to be a supernatural creature dubbed The Big Grey Man of Ben Macdui. Carol Purcell, from Edinburgh, said the experience was "extraordinary". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-46277410 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essan Posted November 21, 2018 #4 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Been quite a few good pics of broken spectres and glories on social media the past few days - a phenomena I've yet to see myself. (the shadow is the spectre, the halo of light around its head is the glory) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Not A Rockstar Posted November 21, 2018 #5 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Can you just imagine how the first person to ever experience that felt? Wow They had fun telling tales of The Old Man to their kids for sure! That's fascinating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
