Sundogs over Brookline (Will Smith/WBUR)

Today’s Photo of the Day is from WBUR’s Will Smith, who captured this solar phenomenon from his roof in Brookline on Sunday.

That isn’t lens flare or Photoshop — those sunny spots at the edges of a faintly visible halo are called sun dogs, apparently. I have never heard of this before, let alone witness it.

Wild!
