Lunar Halo

The line through the halo is the vapour trail from a passing plane.

Tonight's 97% Moon

This is an unedited-by-me photo taken with my new Google Pixel 10 Pro XL phone. The phone has a built-in 'zoom enhance' mode when you zoom to 30x or more. This photo is zoomed to 80x, so the 'zoom enhance' has been applied automatically.

The Forth Bridges, as seen from the observation "tower" at the South Queensferry Premier Inn.

[For safety, the window only opens a couple of inches so it's quite a challenge to get a decent photo.]

Any thoughts as to what is going on here??

The orange bits are leaves under a layer of ice.

I suspect that the little vertical 'rods' are fibers from the box-lid that have frozen as the puddle they're floating in freezes over.
