I guess that is what this would be called. I've never seen one before. Some kind of an upside down rainbow looking thing off of a 22 degree sun halo (main halo is much higher, this was around lunch time). Taken in the Wind Rivers, in between the two Green River Lakes, earlier this month.

Just thought I'd share something trippy. Daytime light is harsh, but how many of these do we get to witness in our lifetimes?
