    The document discusses several optical phenomena involving light and color, including sun filtering through trees and forming camera obscuras, light columns seen against clouds, ice halos formed by light refracting through ice crystals in cirrus clouds, glories seen when looking into the sun just below the horizon, and green flashes seen when the sun sets over the ocean. It also mentions related phenomena like fogbows, rainbow clouds, pearl clouds, and auroras.
