photos.

As you can see it's not raining, but I think it's like a Sun Dog...

Appears to be directly overhead for about 10 minutes...

Located in Northallerton.

Explanation anyone ?

Circumzenithal Arc. I've seen a very similar photo recently but can't
find it now. I think a child liked it because it looked like a smile. I

There is another link in a reply worth looking at.

Also worth looking at are the couple of postings by Jari Luomanen and
his photos at http://jari.pic.fi/kuvat/Atmospheric+phenomena+and+sky/ He
has some interesting experimental photos.
