Boris casts a long shadow through the thin mist to create a ghostly ‘Brocken Spectre’.

Surrounding his head’s shadow, or more accurately the position the camera shadow would occupy, is a small bright circular glory.

The whole scene is dominated by a huge and almost white fogbow with an inner, more coloured, supernumerary fringe.
