"The Broken Ghost is a rare and somewhat mystical phenomenon in the mountains. Imagine: you are standing on a peak, the sun behind you, and fog or clouds in front of you. And suddenly you see a huge shadow of yourself, like a giant, surrounded by a rainbow glow. This is the “Broken Ghost”: your shadow is projected onto the clouds, and the light is refracted in water droplets, creating a colored halo." Credit: Tetiana Mandziak
