I came to Bear Butte State Park near Sturgis South Dakota intending to shoot the iconic barn on the east side of the mountain. While there I noticed a sun halo (or sun dog) fading in and out as the frozen mist moved across the landscape. I wondered if I could catch Bear Butte framed by the halo if I got around to the other side, facing southeast with the mountain between my camera and the halo. I drove as fast as I could, but arrived only in time to get a quick hand held shot, exposing for the sky but luckily being able to bring out shadow detail on the mountain in post.
