Light Poles (26 photos)

This is one of the most beautiful phenomena in the atmosphere. Especially in the cities, where there are many light sources of different colors. Mandatory condition for the appearance of light poles, it is a low temperature (-20 C), lack of wind and the large number of ice crystals in the atmosphere. Ice crystals in turn, should be mostly flat shape (diamond-shaped). If you fall in the air, they will try to take a horizontal position and begin work as a small mirror. I saw this particular case of 6 February 2006, the street was -25 and live it looks just awesome.
