Millions of ice crystals glint down from 3 to 5 mile high cirrostratus haze to form the 22º halo. The sharp inner edge is red tinged. Beyond, the halo fades gradually away. The sun was high in the sky (I made this photo at 11:57am on April 19, 2005) while lying on my back under this palm tree pointing the camera straight up. I always stress the fact that you should diversify your perspective when you photograph your subject, as it adds interest. Since we usually see things from 5 or 6 feet above the ground, by simply getting low you can present your subject from a point of view we don't usually see and thus add interest.
