Sundogs are the bright spectral flares that show up at 90 degree angles on each side of, and above and below the sun when ice crystals are shaped just right and suspended in the higher clouds of the atmosphere. The solar pillar streaking up from the sun, is like Heavens funeral prye, in honor of my Dad's funeral, the day before I took this picture. (F/8 and be there, even while behind the wheel, but use extra care).
