Probably better known as a "sun dog" rather than the title I gave it. lol When the sun is at the correct angle to ice crystals in the air they form these mini rainbows. Usually only a couple colors appear as is the case with this one, and nothing near the size of a full rainbow. This day there were 3 or 4 of these appearing shortly before sundown. I managed to get a decent shot of this one. Thanks as always for your views & comments!

Funny..it does have the look of a rainbow...but I guess it's made basically of the same stuff. Imaginative title too!! Thanks for sharing this, Dan, but you know, it doesn't look like a dog at all....too pretty..lol (my apologies to all the dog lovers for this politically incorrect joke)

This is great Dan. I've never seen the sky look quite like that but its color and glow is wonderful. Very well done.

Very dramatic shot Danny. Reminds me somewhat of the arora borealis. Love your play of light and dark. Nice work.

I'm going to have my eye out for these sun dogs, Dan. Can't help it, now that I know they exist and you brought it to my attention. Fascinating. I think the shot is great! Ah oooooooooooooo!
