      Explanation: On a road trip up Mount Uluda-f in Bursa province, Turkey   
      these motorcyclists found themselves above low clouds and fog in late   
      June. With the bright Sun directly behind them, the view down the side   
      of the great mountain revealed a beautiful, atmospheric glory and fog   
      bow. Known to some as the heiligenschein or the Specter of the Brocken,   
      a glory can also sometimes be seen from airplanes or even high   
      buildings. It often appears to be a dark giant surrounded by a bright   
      halo. Of course the dark giant is just the shadow of the observer (90MB   
      video) cast opposite the Sun. The clouds and fog are composed of very   
      small water droplets, smaller than rain drops, that refract and reflect   
      sunlight to create the glory's colorful halo and this more extensive   
      fog bow.
