Description
Managed to capture this colorful atmospheric effect finally. I've seen this a number of times (without my camera handy of course!) and always wanted to capture it. Well, here it is...I don't know what this is called, but I hope you enjoy it! I'll try to catch up on some commenting tomorrow...

What a fella learns in some of the unexpected places, a sun-dog caused by ice particles, had no idea they even existed. This is totally cool.
