This is something I encountered on my climb up Ben Lawers on Saturday, and it's a phenomenon I've wanted to see for a very long time. The shadowy figure in the middle is called Brocken Spectre and it occurs when your shadow is projected onto cloud lying below you on a mountain. The circles of colour are known as a glory, and these are often, but not always, associated with Brocken Spectre.
