Fine solar halo at noon today due south caused by ice crystals at high altitude reflecting + refracting sunlight - note the colours in ring

Nice. Just seeing the sun would be a bonus here! Great shot though.

Good shots all.
I think they are called 22 degree halos, unlike rainbows which I believe are at about 37 degrees. |
