Man who scaled mountain for first sunrise of 2024 captures photo of figure in the clouds

One man’s photo is steadily garnering attention online after he captured a rare phenomenon when scaling a mountain to ring in the new year.

Hiker Rhys Pleming decided to celebrate January 1 by climbing Snowdon, the highest peak in England and Wales.

His aim was to capture the very first sunrise of the decade alongside his friend, but he could ever have anticipated what they would get to experience.

The hiker’s amazing pictures appear to show a figure walking through the clouds, encased in a circular rainbow of light.

As per reports, the other-worldly phenomenon occurs when the low sun shines behind someone looking into mist from a higher ridge. The onlooker‘s shadow is projected forward, casting a silhouette against the rainbow and offering the illusion of someone in the clouds.
