• English description added. Sorry, but poetic descriptions (even pretty ones) do not work here, we need specifics for the encyclopedias. --Cart (talk) 19:19, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

  Cart, while I don't dispute it is a fogbow, is it not also a Brocken spectre / Glory ? -- Colin (talk) 11:17, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

• Colin, yes, it looks like it. There are several more examples of that in the fogbow category. I just wasn't aware that there were additional categories and articles about these phenomena. --Cart (talk) 11:35, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

  I've fixed the category/description. Based on the Wikipedia articles, I think glory is the better term for the coloured rings, as a fogbow would be a larger circle and less likely to be colourful multiple rings. Still caused by mountain fog with the sun behind. -- Colin (talk) 12:46, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

•  Support I second to Colin. Categorically, a fogbow would be slightly misleading description, as it's still possible that these phenomena could occur independently and all of these phenomena have their own names. Fogbow is the larger circle in diameter, like a rainbow, which is a different thing than the smaller glory around the Brocken spectre. This is a nice demonstrative image, which is a little bit lower side in quality, but has enough wow for me. --Ximonic (talk) 13:07, 17 July 2023 (UTC).

• Thanks. I've tweaked the galley based on these new diggings into what was going on in the photo. --Cart

• Yes, it's the Brocken specter that appeared in the mist among the rocks! -- Михайло Пецкович 19:50, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

• The next time you nominate something at FPC, please write a full description of the photo, preferably in both Ukrainian and English, and add the categories to go with it. It will save the voters here a lot of time and confusion. --Cart (talk) 17:47, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
