@merkur, possible, I experienced it myself at 18h.

@miri: See the devil  , good that you mention it, sun is low then too  - at the right time of year even very low. So where was your glory - above or still below the level of the standing place?
By the way, I've seen it mostly in the early afternoon. But only twice really clear and distinct. Photo of one of the richer ones I might even find ...

Before the Petra Skalar hut, grandson and I stood when it appeared. Most visitors didn't know what it was. Sun was somewhere behind Planja. It appears so unexpectedly and suddenly that even with camera in hand you can miss it or forget to take a photo. Experience, certainly.

I noticed it last year on Grintovec summit, which was then just a bit above the fog.

well, only now did I realize that the thing around my husband is a glory, until today I was actually convinced it was just an ordinary saintly halo

no, that's not glory, Lanževica, but most likely just a reflection in the camera lens.

Glories I've seen: Križ, Ogradi and Velika Baba. Around the glory from Ogradi you can also see the Brocken spectre.

Hahahaha, lanževica, just stick to your original conviction!
Apparently we'll be able to read more about glory in the new guide to the Julian Alps, which is supposedly in the making.

@ Merkur: I promise I won't bother with this in my book. If anyone happens to be interested in the field of atmospheric optics, they can check out all known atmospheric optical phenomena here: http://www.atoptics.co.uk/rainbows/notabow.htm
You'll be surprised at what all exists.

@Bojan A: This is obviously a coincidence ... Are you also preparing some book - about the Julian Alps maybe?
Interesting your last photo and useful link!

Yes, exactly - I'm writing a hiking guide to the Julian Alps.

This continuation doesn't quite fit the topic title, but since this is (less important) general talk, it probably won't cause too much damage if I take a bit of the sun away from the glory for a moment ...
Bojan, that above was interesting to read! Because the Julian Alps are big, very big!
Namely, your predecessor tackled writing the first such guide in the early seventies of the last century, after the age of thirty, when he had already thoroughly walked and climbed this mountain range (and some "neighboring" ones). After the first edition, six revised ones followed. The seventh, last edition, bears the year 2003. In between, thirty years of experience are gathered, whose influence is woven into almost every paragraph of the guide. Most of the described or just mentioned paths and trails (and many more besides) the man walked himself or his trusted equally experienced collaborators ... Much more could be written about the Slovenian mountaineering legend, but it's not even necessary. I just want to say that Tine Mihelič wore in the "Julian Alps" boots of a special size, which even today, when youth has long feet, would know how to whip most youngsters hard on the legs.
Anyway, Bojan, you're certainly not lacking in will and you're brave - and the brave have luck.
May your writing go well!

My saintly halo too, which I barely managed to catch in the lens this morning

First time I saw a rainbow above my head and "upside down". And that, with almost clear weather. Can someone explain this phenomenon?

Glory or such a rainbow phenomenon occurs due to diffraction of sunlight through water droplets. Water droplets strongly redirect light only in certain directions, so we can say light collects more in certain directions, less in others (similar to an optical prism: http://zvonko.fgg.uni-lj.si/seminarji/mavricanaluzi/prizma1.gif. Condition for glory is also presence of so-called "Mie scattering", where at certain angles distinct maxima of scattered light appear). All light gathering in a circle is consequence because sun is round too and light concentrates in that shape. For glory to be actually observed, sun, observer and center of phenomenon must be on same line.
That's about it. Can't write it more folksy, but plenty of material on web about this.
