A full sundog 😱 It’s not super rare but still, not something you see frequently, yet nobody seemed to be noticing it at all! It was up there for around four hours in the middle of the day although I was travelling for most of that. Absolutely glorious 😍 #sundog

Must have been a lot of ice crystals up there.

It would have been nice if I could have taken it over Gelert’s grave but it was absolutely rammed with tourists in Beddgelert so I just had to pick a spot where I could avoid getting people in 😂 ☀️💛

They’re not something that happens frequently and they’re more usual in winter ☀️💛

Ice crystals in the moist atmosphere reflected by the sunlight.

I did not know about "sun dogs," which is sunlight passing through ice crystals. So, the Sun God has his celestial animals. Thus, the term "sun dogs." Thank you for your post. Now, I'll be looking for them. 🙂
