This delicate but distinctly coloured sundog formed in a thin layer of early morning cirrus. |

A few minutes later it was joined by a brighter one formed in a wisp of cloud a couple of degrees above it. The crystals forming the upper sundog probably had greater tilts allowing it to be seen some distance from the usual parhelion position. |
As the lower sundog faded out the upper one became bright and colourful, but seemed to have less blue in it. Even though it covered a only a small part of the parhelion area it was very obvious, pity this wisp wasn't a bit bigger. |
