My Brocken Spectre and Glory, Russian Ridge, CA

Posted by Vaibhav (Stanford, United States) on 6 August 2011 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Spectre of the Brocken is an optical phenomenon in nature. More about it can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brocken_spectre

Last weekend when I went for a short evening hike in the mountains behind Stanford, I never imagined I would witness this. But as soon as I realized that the conditions are right, I ran around to position myself such that I could become a part of Nature's magic and photograph it.
