Glory 2

Caught this glory on my way from Champaign to Omaha today.

 

A glory is sunlight scattered back at you. This is not a rainbow, but similar since the sun has to be behind you for it show up on the ice crystals below. Since the sun is behind you, the shadow of the plane is usually at the center of the glory.

 

I wonder how I can geolocate this photo? Taken with my cameraphone (don't worry I have a SonyWalkman phone so I was listening to some tunes and had the phone on flightmode).
