In mid-December last year he was on his way to his office when he saw a solar halo. “I didn’t plan this photo,” he said, speaking to My Modern Met. “I took my camera and the drone my and drove to the point where I knew I would have the city and the halo together”. With the sun at its highest point over the town of Östersund, he knew he had shot Photo of those that you shoot once in your life. The result was such that his photo was selected by NASA as Astronomy Picture Of the Day.
In his photo, the solar halo shining over a bridge connecting Östersund with the island of Frösön. “Above Frösön you can see a small cloud of smoke rising from the island. It is snow produced by snow cannons on Gustavsbergsbacken, the local snow slope. These tiny ones ice crystals which the cannons produce of snow they are almost perfectly shaped and have a tendency to be more likely to form a solar halo. Solar halos are more common visible near ski resorts that have snow cannons that produce these perfect ice crystals,” he explained.
