Sunrise Photo — thank you for the information. I saw all three from the downtown waterfront on Saturday afternoon . Awesome blue and sundog skies – camera pics cannot do them justice, though I tried!!

We saw it on Quintet road about 4:30 Sat afternoon it was so pretty I’ve never seen anything like this,the colors was like a rainbow sideways in a crescent shape.

Yes, we saw it when we were headed into Atmore. I’ve never seen anything like it before and it lasted for quite awhile. Thanks for letting us know what it’s called William.

There are actually 3 “sundogs” in the picture, at 9 o’clock, 12 o’clock, and the one mentioned in the article at 3 o’clock. The noon position is actually a circumzenithal arc, which is an upside down arc. We saw a very similar looking sundog arrangement to this in Molino on Christmas Day afternoon 2019, although I believe it may have been a double arc (the second halo being termed a 46 degree halo). We witnessed it with naked eye, but due to the height of the second arc we weren’t able to fit it in the viewfinder of the camera on my phone. An attempt at a panoramic shot didn’t come out unfortunately.
