Ice Halo and Parhelic Circle in Russian Mist

Thick mist rests on the ground in a flat Russian landscape, obscuring the horizon while allowing the last blue light of evening to filter through. Above, a bright white parhelic circle intersects with a faint ice halo, their geometric arcs cutting through the gray haze. The light source, though low and hidden, casts a sharp rim glow on the edges of distant pine trees, separating their dark silhouettes from the fog. Layers of depth recede as the mist thickens, turning foreground details into soft shapes while the sky remains a pale, luminous canvas. Small ice crystals hang suspended in the air, catching the dim light and creating a shimmering texture against the deep shadow of the forest edge.
