Sun Halo Around Hilltop Church Steeple Zambia

Pale sunlight fractures through low rain clouds to form a complete, ghostly white halo encircling the dark silhouette of a church steeple atop a grassy hill. The cool season morning casts a soft, diffuse glow over the wet landscape, where steady rain beads on the corrugated metal roof of the small structure. Hazy layers of the horizon fade into gray mist while the sun sits just above the ground, its light diffused by moisture in the air. The steeple rises sharply against the pale circle, its simple cross shape stark against the luminous ring. Wet grass slopes downward on either side, reflecting the muted sky. one drop of water rests on the tip of the cross, catching the faint light before falling.
