Brocken spectre

Brocken spectre effect i had chance to see, when flying to Norwey yeasterday.

A Brocken spectre (German Brockengespenst), also called Brocken bow or mountain spectre is the apparently enormous and magnified shadow of an observer, cast upon the upper surfaces of clouds opposite the sun. The phenomenon can appear on any misty mountainside or cloud bank, or even from an aeroplane, but the frequent fogs and low-altitude accessibility of the Brocken, a peak in the Harz Mountains in Germany, have created a local legend from which the phenomenon draws its name. The Brocken spectre was observed and described by Johann Silberschlag in 1780, and has since been recorded often in literature about the region. It can be seen in any mountain region, such as the Haleakalā National Park on the island of Maui, Hawaii, or the Cairngorms, Scotland.
