Hiker Captures Rare Phenomenon That Looks Like An Angel In The Clouds

A hill walker out in the Peak District managed to capture a Rare Phenomenon which looked Like an ‘angel in the sky’ surrounded by a rainbow glow.


It’s pretty impressive, and was spotted last Friday (7 February) by 33-year-old Lee Howdle.


The effect is called a ‘Brocken Spectre’ and only occurs when a person manages to get to a height at which the sun is behind them and the Clouds below them.


Credit: SWNSLee, an ardent Hiker and photographer, walked up the 517-metre-tall Mam Tor, where he was able to grab the incredible images.


The Langley Mill resident said: “It was truly a special moment.


“I went to the Peak District because I knew there was going to be a cold inversion where Clouds form at low level beneath clear skies.


“When I got to Winnats Pass, it wasn’t That great because of where the Clouds were.


“Mam Tor is much higher, and above the clouds. As I was going up Mam Tor, by chance, I looked to the left side of me and there was a Brocken Spectre.


“My shadow looked huge. It was in this circular rainbow. I took some photos of it and carried on walking. It was Like an Angel in the sky over the hills, it was quite magical.”

“My main hobby is photography. It’s a hobby I really enjoy. I go to the Peak District every fortnight, or at least once a month.


“I have never seen this before in my life. I read about it once on the internet. It’s really amazing and I feel very blessed to have captured such a magical moment.”


The effect, which is also known as a Brocken bow or mountain spectre, is essentially a large shadow cast onto a cloud below, but has – obviously – been linked with folklore and mythology ever since it was discovered.


It was first observed on Brocken – the highest mountain in Germany’s Harz Mountains – back in the 18th century, hence the name.


Credit: SWNSAs for the rainbow glow That surrounds the spectral shadow, that’s caused by light refracting and reflecting back towards the observer in a specific way.


It’s known as a ‘glory’ and appears around the point That is opposite to the sun as the viewer views their own shadow in the cloud.
