Great capture of this phenomenon ! Sun dogs are reflections of the Sun in ice crystals in the air, normally symmetric of both sides of the Sun when it is low in the sky. Sometimes it can even look like three Suns on the sky on the same time.
A fantastic sky and wonderful photographic shot Richard......!!!
