Also know as a Mock Sun or a Sundog. Been wanting to shoot these for a while and while I was waiting to punch in at work, I see some and actualy had my camera with me for a change. I was looking for a halo, but all I managed was to chase parhelia as the clouds moved and shifted. These parhelia came and went and changed shapes

Cool, last time I saw one of these I was on a cross channel ferry a year or so ago.
