In class Friday Cinda told my teacher and I to look out the window. She had just received a text from our friend Tuya that there were three suns in the sky. Curious, we looked out our windows and saw this:
Walking home from school we saw many Mongolians outside looking at the sun and taking pictures- it was as much a surprise to them as to us. As far as I can figure it is caused by the same phenomena that causes a rainbow, the refraction of light through the water particles. However in this case there was a ground fog and ice particles which caused the refraction and full halo or “sun dog” effect. You can see more of the rainbow effect on the shot below.

i think that peyote will give the sun that appearance but I am beside myself wondering where a good missionary, or even Mark could find good peyote in mongolian winter.
