Sun Dogs

It was -13 F this morning with a clear sky. This is what the sunrise looks like when there has been a fresh snowfall and sub-zero temps. The light on the left is the sun. the light on the right is the "Sundog". It is quite the stunning sight!

When the conditions are right you get this image which has the two "dogs" flanking the sun 22 degrees on either side. I think of these as our own mid-winter rainbows.
