LUG: I've always called the slight rainbows around the sun a sun dog and wikipedia seems to agree, but I can't find any information on the rainbow reflections in the clouds opposite the sun, not around the sun. Does anybody know if there is a particular name for this atmospheric optical phenomenon? I have to keyword the stock photos. http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/110074252 http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/110074270 TIA Tina Tina Manley www.tinamanley.com _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
