Thank you both for kind compliments, Rebecca and Joan. As to the different phenomena I don,t want to spoil things, but I must say it was a sunny day with no precipitation. I suppose Rebecca holds the colored arc for a rainbow but what looks like precipitation are streaks of cirrus. The arc itself is a segment of the 22 degrees halo and looking close you can see at the right side a split between the upper tangent arc and the 22 degrees halo. Anyway there are indeed much different things to see in one capture withe the wide angle overhead. So thanks again.

I agree with Rebecca. This photo is different and beautiful.
Most interesting picture, Hans. Looks like a vertical shot taken, where you can see a mixture of different weather phenomenon in the one place that doesn’t often get seen together, from precipitation and rainbows, to sun-dogs and halos, to contrails. From Rebecca Hill.
