Default Sundog

Congratulations on your graduation, Jonathan.
Another `dog' at this time of the year are the Dog-Days,July 3rd to August
11th as the Romans defined. They thought Sirius the dog star added to the
heat. At Concord's speed I believe it would take 3 million years to reach
the star and it is one of the nearest!

After an excellent day weatherwise yesterday for my graduation in
Canterbury, I noticed a rather nice example of a sundog while travelling
home to Tamworth about an hour or so ago. Unfortunately, there aren't
many places where one can stop and wield cameras on the M6
