Glories are often seen from aircraft. Get a seat opposite the sun and watch them ring the aircraft's shadow - or more accurately, where your own shadow would be. I saw this glory in the 22nd of June last year when I came from Helsinki to Tampere. This was not very colorful glory, sometimes they can be very beautiful, see for example the photos at Atmospheric Optics.

Glory
Have you ever seen glories? Glories are always directly opposite the sun, centered at the antisolar point and therefore below the horizon except at sunrise and sunset. Look for them whenever mist or cloud is beneath you and the sun breaks through to shine on it.
