Smoke ring. We observed this rare phenomen on 24.4.96 from Punta Labronzo. The contrast of the full picture was considerably enhanced by image processing in order to make the rising ring more prominent. Calculations using the distance, geometry of camera optics and image size yielded an approximate diameter of the ring in the left frame of 25 to 30 metres.
