I noticed this atmospheric phenomenon on my photo promenade yesterday. It's a Halo. Also known as Nimbus. I spotted it above the former fire station in Tungelsta. I'm not the first person to see such a thing of course. But if you follow this link you can read about the Sun Dog Painting (Vädersolstavlan), that Urban the Painter painted some five hundred years ago.
