This spring in Europe was surprisingly warm and Sunny, which caused acceleration of vegetative propagation. According to Peter Paul Vershure from the city Deventer in the Netherlands, "the air is full of pollen." As a result, he was able to see some lovely pollen crowns. The below were taken may 8.

The author noted that he used a street light to block sunlight is allowed colorful rings appear brighter.

Expert on atmospheric optics Les Cowley said that the pollen of the crown are formed due to the diffraction of light hanging in the air the pollen. Despite the fact that crowns are formed from tiny water droplets in clouds, the particles of pollen in this sense, "work" even better. They create a small but very colorful ring around the sun. Unlike water droplets, pollen particles — non-spherical, which adds such a special charm to the crowns, making them elliptic. Cowley notes that many pollen particles there are air sacs that help carry them on the wind. Photo Versura, according to Cowley, zamechatelna pollen corona, elliptic shape which points to the fact that it is pine pollen. If we consider the picture carefully, we can see individual particles of pollen, sparkling in the air.
