22 degree solar halo over Cook Strait 22 January 2009

Within 3 months I saw my second ever 22° Ice Crystal Halo around the sun, this time over Cook Strait on an early morning flight to Wellington. I was oblivious to the sunrise phenomena beyond the little window, mainly because I had the isle seat. My brother, sitting by the window had to mention several time there was a circle around the sun before I comprehended and scrambled for the camera.
