Boise Idaho was treated to an absolutely marvelous circumhorizon arc on 6-5-08. The circumhorizon arc was visible to the south for perhaps 10 minutes. First reds with some yellows, then some stunningly luminous blues of two colors, appearing somewhat like a rip in the sky, with beautiful blue light shining through. There were also two concentric sundog like rings around the sun (closer to the sun, at angles of perhaps Thanks for posting this picture and the description.

A "sun dog" is to the left or right of the sun, a "fire rainbow" is below and potentially much wider than a sun dog.

I frequently saw the rainbow colors while living in AZ. Were they sun dogs? Yesteday was the first time I can remember seeing one in CA (native CA). Definately not an ice halo=it was 92 degrees. I never heard of an ice halo until reading your site. Very interesting. I saw a sun dog?? on June 10th (yesterday) I live in Sacramneto. I frequently saw the rainbow colors while living in AZ.
