'Mock sun'

August 16, 2016

Local friends: I took this photo just a few minutes ago of this impressive 'mock sun' next to New Mills golf course. Take a quick look. It may still be visible. The sun itself is behind the large clump of trees and the bright iridescence to its left (south) is caused by ice crystals in those high-altitude clouds near the horizon.
