Can you tell me how to interpret this?

Figure1
I was riding back home after having attended a basic Pranic healing course. It was around 6.45pm and I was observing the sky that was painted with light blue that gradually got mixed with a strange patch of fading crimson red. It was looking like a strange shape. I got so involved in watching it that I almost forgot that I was riding..

I reached home in a few minutes and decided to take a snap of this strange shape. As there is no open space on top of my house, I went to a friend's house immediately, to reach the second floor of their house and I adjusted my camera to take a snap of this image before it faded away. The first snap that I took was very strange in that, the camera caught an image of something that was actually not there. It was a huge white circle that has a strange shape within itself. I took another snap in anticipation of that same shape reappearing, but this time it didnt! I took a few more snaps and the camera could catch only what was actually visible, which looks like the one in the above snap.
Now, look at the snap below. This was what I was referring to as the first snap.. that looked strange.

What is this huge perfect circle? There was no such physical or visible object there. Can you also observe some strange object within that circle? I was so astonished..not that my camera could catch something that 'I' was unable to see. It was an experience like never before! I couldnt believe my eyes..Well, actually the camera!

Some people said that it is the sun.. but there was no sun there, as you can see from Figure 1. My brother said that it is a raindrop. I dont think it can be that huge and on top of it, there was no rain! It cant be dust on the camera lens either, or could it be? Because, in that case, there would be so many dust particles and not all of them would manifest as one huge white perfect-circle with some kind of an aura around it!!

And yes, there is no photography trick involved here!!

Any ideas? Any guesses? How do I interpret this?? Will I find an answer? Just getting very curious to know..

Confusion and frustration...the good part of it!

Seems like it is good to get confused every now and then. This will make you 'think'. So you consider a lot of things, suddenly you seem to have a lot of options to choose from. It could be any event. As you keep thinking, you will find that you have a lot of ways that you could lead your life through.This, no doubt leads to lot of frustration and confusion. But it is a nice experience. You cant always expect decisions to be imposed upon you..I mean you need to think, take decisions by yourself.

What is good about getting confused?
Time moves on (if you believe in the 'time' concept-I don't!) and things become clear. As you move on, you will start finding solutions and will be able to make your own decisions.I personally feel that you will gain more strength and clarity as you move on in a so-called 'confused life'.

Think of it this way..there is some kind of a training or a learning phase that your 'mind' needs to undergo so that it becomes stronger. So, the sense of frustration is unnecessary. I quote: "If necessity is the mother of invention, frustration is the mother of creation". So, when you are frustrated, you tend to think a lot and focus on a particular field which you would have otherwise not bothered too much about. Your energies get channelized. Where frustration tends to develop new qualities in you and help you discover the unknown 'you' within yourself, it is good. But if you get into mental depression and lose inner balance..it is obviously bad!
