This sundog spectacular was an astounding sight and you could see an outer ring as well, which is something I've never witnessed before! It was such a strong view in the midday skies above Chilliwack BC. It was a crisp early Spring day. No filters used, just hand held and tried to capture the outer ring as well.. so blessed to have witness such an amazing sight!
Maybe a tiny consolation for the heavy cloud covering a great view of the aurora here last night (see previous upload) was a pretty sky (over our neighbours' farm), complete with a sundog (which wasn't that easy to capture; left side of farm building to left), as the sun rose this morning, over the snow-dusted fields. (Image a bit grainy as I forgot to lower the ISO again after trying to shoot the aurora.)
We spotted this sundog near the end of the day Sunday just outside the city of Covington Virginia. In the two or three years Anita and I have been traveling the highways and byways this is only the second one we have seen. I think the tiny black dots are birds. Cool stuff! LOL
While shooting early Saturday morning, I spotted this sundog just to the right of the sun. This was more vivid than many because of the still dim light!
With temps -4 below zero and strong 30 mph wind it's awful cold out freezing crystals of snow moisture right in the air. A few minutes earlier there was a more rainbow effect but as the sun was setting we see the main flares reflected.
Taken out the west view of my sunroom overlooking the 6th fairway of a golf course.
- this a first post on Flickr using my cellphone - to cold to stand outside so shot through the srceen.
Only one side has the flare as the trees are in the way of the other side. A very cold winter this year here in Saskatchewan, Canada.
Took this shot 5 o´clock this morning. There is some strange phenomenon in the sky, looks like a rainbow but it is not like a normal rainbow, we saw it from 3 diffrent fjords so it must have been a way up in the sky. Maybe its a glittery clouds? ... but not sure it is ... dont think it looks like the usual glittery clouds I have seen. Do you know what it is ?
Well beside this strange thing in the sky the wheter was amazingly beautiful and the sea was like a mirror. This is taken in a fjord named Álftafjörður in the east coast of Iceland.
Edit: I think littlelori is right, the phenomenon is a sun dog!

Shortly before sunset sundogs appeared on opposite sides of the sun just before sunset. I closed in on one of them over a seastack at Ruby Beach in Olympic National Park.
Was rather beautiful with the mist, and a Parhelia this morning just after sunrise!

In real life, this little wispy cloud looked half orange and half white, but in the photo you can see there's a little bit of a rainbow in between the two color blocs.

"White on white where the memory wanders
Under the houses, an ocean arrives
I'm running back time to the edge of the water
Flickering songs alight
I could live twice
If I could see you alive and unfrozen
I would"
Listen to the experts. They will tell you what can't be done and why. Then, go ahead and do it anyway.
"Don't shoot directly into the sun" said they.
"Humbug" said I. "If I don't do that, how will I get shots like this?"
Going out to my van after dinner at Ketch Joanne, at Pillar Point Harbor, this is what I saw.

A few minutes after photographing the horses (yesterday's upload), I came upon this scene. I often stop here along the drive between Swift Current and Val Marie, and on this January day the late afternoon sundogs ("parhelia" to meteorologists) were irresistible.
Sundogs are formed when ice crystals in the atmosphere refract the sun's light, creating ghost images on one or both sides of the sun along the circumference of a 22° halo that may or may not be visible. My challenge here was where to place the sundogs in relation to other elements. I tried various perspectives. By walking toward the shed, I made it larger in the frame, and within a few steps the fence line disappeared. I really like the fence line. In the end, my first shot - this one, with the fence line intact and the shed small - seemed to work best.
Noteworthy: I used the Rokinon 8mm fisheye lens for this shot. Notice the lack of distortion. In the original framing - cropped slightly from the upper left in processing - the horizon line cut the image almost exactly in half. Only by tilting the camera up or down will the horizon begin to curve.

On the way back east this lovely sight appeared in the sky while we had stopped at a little shop in Spokane, Washington. I haven't seen anything like it before or since! it stayed visible in one form or another until we reached Montana.

Sometimes called a mock sun, formally called a parhelion in meteorology, is an atmospheric optical phenomenon that consists of a bright spot to one or both sides of the Sun. Two sun dogs often flank the Sun within a 22° halo.
