Very cool. Never seen that in real life.
I've seen small ones, never one that large... Beautiful, isn't it?

Doesn't look like any sundog I've ever seen. More like part of a

Wow, those sure are lovely! I just called it a sundog because someone else
did is all... I really like the 1st example url you sent...

Yeah, people love to call everything under the sun a sundog...hehe...but
there are so many variations on the optics. Here's the home page for
those links...it has some amazing pics and covers just about anything
funny you might see in the sky:
