Had to refer the 'Brocken Spectre' term to Wiki for an explanation!
Glad the images are giving some enjoyment out there.

The site doesn't seem to know the term either -- I can't find the
picture by using their search :-(

Have seen one for myself though, from a glider in which we had no
cameras -- or oxygen otherwise we'd have been a lot higher [1] and might
have missed it.



[1] The lift in wave from Mull while we were over Cairngorm was such
that I think that 20,000ft was easily possible that day. Red letter
day in any event, and still the highest I've reached in a glider. (We
knocked it off long, long before 20,000!)
