Sundog (The Rainbow Tree)

A sundog or parhelion is formed by ice crystals aligning vertically as they fall through the atmosphere in very cold weather. This was taken shortly after sunrise, with an ambient temperature of about -5 degrees F. I walked out on a jetty on the frozen St. Croix river and saw a sundog aligned with this tree.
