Details:
The first rains of the rainy season have fallen in Mutare over the past three days and humidity has been high. This afternoon cloud started to clear allowing the setting Sun to emerge and shine brightly from a gap beneath it. Then something strange happened. At 10 minutes to 6 a patch of mist produced by condensation began to reflect the setting sunlight to produce a bright spherical and then oblong apparition which floated for two minutes directly above Hospital Hill. A short time later more widespread veils of sunlit condensation formed and developed into beautiful thin curtains of golden Virga which for a few minutes shone brightly and remained suspended in the air. Camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 in sunset scene mode.
