Circles of Light
Northern Virginia
August 10, 2002
by Norm Gagnon
One early morning around 7:50am, I walked toward my living room window to take a look at my backyard garden. I later noticed a bright reflection on the side of my neighbor's house, it was circular in shape, had an "X" in its center and was about 4 feet in diameter (1.22 meters). I decided that this would be an interesting subject to photograph. I later recalled seeing these unusual "circles of light" images on the internet so I searched and came upon a couple of sites that had numerous pics of these mysterious reflections, and they were rather identical to mine (see links below). Of course, most of us will agree that these glares are caused by the sun reflecting off nearby windows but the mystery is in the unusual design of these beautiful manifestations and they all have roughly the same geometry. Light circles are appearing in front of my house's lot as well. See photos on the right.

I took this photo in
front of my house's
parking lot. The
shadow within the
Light Circle is of me.
