Moon halo

A halo is seen around the waxing gibbous moon as seen above a barn near Elkton in rural western Oregon late Sunday, Nov. 14, 2021. Halos around the sun or moon are caused by high, thin cirrus clouds. Tiny ice crystals in the atmosphere create the halos. They do it by refracting and reflecting the light.
