![Sundog Over Bombay Beach I shot this with my DJI Air 2s drone. The sunbow was starting to fade when I shot this, but I'm still happy with my shot and post-production work here.
A sun dog (or sundog) or mock sun, also called a parhelion[1] (plural parhelia) in meteorology, is an atmospheric optical phenomenon that consists of a bright spot to one or both sides of the Sun. Two sun dogs often flank the Sun within a 22° halo.
The sun dog is a member of the family of halos caused by the refraction of sunlight by ice crystals in the atmosphere. Sun dogs typically appear as a pair of subtly colored patches of light, around 22° to the left and right of the Sun, and at the same altitude above the horizon as the Sun. They can be seen anywhere in the world during any season, but are not always obvious or bright. Sun dogs are best seen and most conspicuous when the Sun is near the horizon.

Salvation Mountain is an outdoor art installation located in Calipatria, California, near the Salton Sea. It was created by Leonard Knight, a local resident who spent over 25 years of his life creating and beautifying the mountain. The installation is made up of a large hill, painted with brightly colored paint and adorned with religious sayings and symbols. The hill is made up of adobe, straw, and paint, and is topped off with a large cross.
The mountain has been designated a folk art site by the state of California, and has become a popular tourist destination. Visitors can explore the colorful mountain, take photographs, and read the religious phrases and symbols that adorn it.
Salvation Mountain has been the subject of several documentaries and has been featured in publications such as National Geographic and TIME Magazine. It has also been used as a setting in the film, Into the Wild. In 2005, Leonard Knight was inducted into the Folk Art Hall of Fame.
Today, Salvation Mountain is maintained by volunteers from the Slab City community. The mountain is open to the public and visitors are welcome to explore, take photographs, and experience Knight's unique vision.
