Wikipedia commons- Sundogs

It was almost a year ago when I captured shots of Sundogs outside of Fargo, North Dakota.( 2/10/08 blog). With Blizzard conditions today I was ready for what I did not have back then, my 17-40mm wide angle lens.
These photos were taken in the late afternoon as the sun was setting in Minneota, Minnesota.
They closed where I work today at noon so I did not have to go in.

These are beautiful PennyWyatt · 2009-01-12: 23:38
