Prints of THE SPECTRE OF THE BROCKEN a bizarre effect caused by projected shadows seen, notably Prints, Framed, Posters, Cards, Puzzles, Housewares.

The photo will be of interest to viewers as an illustration of an unusual optical phenomenon, and it's quite a memory for your hike to the cliff. The name derives from the Brocken, the tallest peak of the Harz mountain range. From the title, I assume it's your shadow in the photo with the sun behind you casting the shadow onto the background cloud? Did the camera's autofocus get confused about where to focus?

In reply to Blue Straggler: I did once see a true brocken spectre by moonlight, descending Coire na Ciste to the CIC Hut with a full moon behind me and mist. A historical name for this phenomena is the Brocken Spectre or Brocken bow. I did not know there was such a thing as a Brocken Spectre. It usually appears in autumn or winter, but only when its very foggy and gloomy. ![]()
