Brilliant capture David. Sun-dog looks good, very colourful, as does the halo, but that Circum-zenithal arc is something special. Anne-Louise and I saw one several years ago, and any time we see some high altitude clouds like that we hope to see a sun-dog and always look up to see if there is a CZ arc.

Thanks for sharing.
