On Sunday, August 29th, 2010 at 6:20 p.m., the western sky held an unusual sight. A sheet of cloud was illuminated, with a dazzling refraction on either side of the setting sun.
High up in the sky above this display, there was an upside-down rainbow.
These photos show the brilliant refraction of the sections of "ring" around the sun, made visible on the cloud sheet.
The rainbow was opposite the sun ring, far above the sun and cloud sheet, with the full spectrum of colors visible.
And upside down.

I saw the same thing in the last two of your pictures last night too, I guess they are called SUN DOGS!
