The photos of Brocken Specter

Rainbow and Brocken at the same time , From Airplane , At the Ground Level

Under the Ice Point environment

At Yatsugatake(2,800m) in January
The temperature seemed to be about -15 degrees Celsius(5 degree Fahrenheit).
Not only liquid spherical water particles, small crystals of ice may have the Mie scattering,
in which the phenomenon of Brocken can be observed.

At the mountains

At the saddle of Chojiro on
Mt. Tsurugi(2,800m) in August.

At Hotaka(3,000m) in September

At a ridge of Hotaka(2,600m) in August

At Kitadake(3,000m) in July

At Yatsugatake in July

At Daisen in August, the particle of mist was small,
and the ring was larger than the others.

Rainbow and Brocken appeared in the same time

At Ioudake of Yatsugatake in October
This was a small one.

This photograph is taken at the same time
with the left one.
This seems to be a kind of rainbow,
which was not colored
because the fog scattered and diffused the color.

I found that non-colored rainbow appears in the mist from hot spring when I was in the middle of mist, standing up and making the shadow of my head smaller so that the shadow do not cover the rainbow. This means that the size of mist has enough variety to project the brocken spectre(small) and colored rainbow(large).

From the airplanes

From an aircraft above Canada (10,000m)
The phenomenon of Brocken Specter
appeared on a low cloud.

From an aeroplane above Kyusyu Japan(5,000m)
This time, the cloud was near the plane,
and the shadow of the plane laid on it.

In the Steam of Spa at the Ground Level

This is an example of the phenomenon observed at ground level,
at Jigoku-tani in Tateyama-Murodou area.
