A so-called Brocken Spectre as seen in the Tatra mountains in Zakopane, Poland. A Brocken Spectre is a rare optic phenomenon that can be observed in mountains when an observer standing on higher altitude can see his own shadow cast onto a cloud at a lower altitude below him. The head of the figure is often surrounded by rings of coloured light.

Had so much fun stitching on this velvet, and especially to fit this antique brass frame I found!
