yesterday arvo I was sitting down watching tv when I looked out side and notice this arc in the sky I assumed it was a rainbow, which it probably is but in the evening twilight it just came through as a pink arc,
It wasn't raining so I think it might have been the ice crystals in the high level cloud because the arc got brighter in the thinker part of the cloud.
It lasted as long as the sun set but got fainter by the minute so I was very lucky to look outside when I did, other wise It would have just disappeared.
2 shots at ISO 800, exposure was 100th of a second and f 4.5.
doing a few google searches haven't revealed to much yet,
I know it's not a halo because the picture is taken towards the north east, that rules that out. Only thing left is a rainbow, but it wasn't raining, so it has to be the actual cloud it's self was creating it and because of the twilight it gave it the pink tone. I would like to know what it's called though, so when I show people the picture I can appear smarter.
The only other thing it could be is a reflection of the bright cloud in the Picture, because if it was caused by the sun itself wouldn't the whole cloud be bright? which is making me think that it might be a reflection off the bright cloud
