This is not the first time I have seen a full halo around the sun, but it is the first time I was standing there with a good camera. This is usually a winter phenomena because it is caused by ice crystals in the upper atmosphere. Usually, the halo is much smaller. Halos around the moon are also common. This picture was taken on the Mike O'Callaghan - Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge across the Colorado River just south of Hoover Dam at about 1:00 pm.
It is a picturesque photograph with a mysterious feeling.
