Driving back to Crosby a few days ago I noticed a bright sun dog ( the rainbow coloured effect in the sky) to the right of the setting sun. This lasted some time as high level cirrus clouds slowly worked their way east over the Irish Sea. By the time I arrived at the beach there was another one visible to the left of the sun.
These rainbow effects are caused by the sunlight refracting off ice particles high in the atmosphere and I added this shot to my collection of unusual skies over the beach.
