Was packing up after a day of landsailing on Lake Lefroy when I noticed a second "sun" in the sunset. Never seen a sunset like it, no idea what caused it. Temperature inversion, ice crystals, ???
Certainly an interesting pic 'bryan' and I really can't offer up any explanations, but no doubt our resident loons will come up with an appropriate conspiracy theory to suit.

Is it the moon?
It is a real scene, no photoshop. Not the moon,check the times for sunset and moon set. It, whatever it was,made a reflection on the wet salt.
Here in the U.S. those are called "sun dogs", and yes, those are ice crystals that form the rainbow spot which is all that it is.
I reckon mastbenders got it. If you google sundog image you'll see they all appear at 22* from the sun which is about where that one is too.
