Brocken Spectre and Glory
Darren
Parker (Alpine
Breaks.com) saw this Brocken Spectre and glory
with Andy Kimmerling and Alan Flight all of Chatel, France
on the ridge of Mont de Grange, 2432m having climbed
three peaks at Chatel in one day.
The video opens with a single Brocken Spectre shadow.
Spectral shadows of three climbers then appear.
The central shadow, that of the climber holding the camera,
is surrounded by a glory. Then, as thicker cloud sweeps
in, the central Brocken Spectre lengthens frighteningly
(or angelically) with the coloured glory continuing to
ring its head. |

Pilot's Glory (118KB)
| Val
Salva of The
Hurricane Hunters shot this short movie. "I've
been shooting glories for years, and seldom do they come out
as brilliant as they appear in real life... it was fun to get
the .mpeg. I only wish we had a movie camera the day we were
running head-on to a series of glories as we were clipping
some cloud tops. After we'd punch through one cloud, you'd
see a tiny dot inside a glory straight ahead, then as we came
closer, the shadow of the airplane would zoom larger and larger,
until you were "crashing" head on with
a "plane" the same size! Then darkness inside the
cloud for a few seconds, and then it would start all over again.
yee-hah!" |
