When I looked out of my flat’s window in Amritapuri, India this morning, this was my view:
Then I looked to the left and saw this:
Three suns, one to the right and two to the left. That was a bit disconcerting until I realized when I looked to the left, I was seeing the reflection of the sun in two different windows.
I looked back to the right and this time I saw:
What was going on?
I decided to go outside to see what it looked like. That way I would be away from all windows.
But when I took a close up shot, I saw:
So is that an orb to the right? It certainly isn’t due to a window. I’m done with guessing but I sure would be interested in knowing your theories. This was a fun way to begin my day!

I have had something similar happen when photographing the moon and I think it is the light of the sun or moon reflecting off the lens. When I move my camera/phone that little orb also moves. Depends on the angle. I have been able to line it up so it is right on the moon and doesn’t show in the photo.

Anything that distorts light as it passes through the atmosphere has the ability to cause a mirage and in this case it appears to be a ‘sun dog phenomenon’. although I still believe that If I were to go with the last pic, it’s the window that’s creating the illusion.

Fascinating….rebirth of Prema Sai…last of Sai Baba’s triple incarnation….now that is a unique speculation…
Sure was not a sun dog….have seen several of these from the school playground…quite spectacular..or maybe it was
I say AMMA was playing with Karuna.
ONE Amritapuri morning, I was gazing at the sunrise and had a unique experience. I was viewing the sunrise from B building 12th floor balcony. As I was gazing, the entire sky horizon where sun was rising was TOTALLY vibrating! All kinds of thoughts flowed through…were my eyes ok…was I grounded…was I getting ready to faint…all wierd speculation…in the meantime…the sky kept vibrating just in that area..there were waves of color moving from the horizon go toward the sky…spectacular…of course I was the only one on the balcony …the only witness…and the stillness was beautiful..
AMMA has fun with Her Amritapuri children…

That is certainly intersting, Karuna. This does happen to me when I am taking photos of the moon sometimes. I like to think Amma is having fun with you 🙂
