Here is my Sunday contribution to @juliank's @photocontests under the category #goldenhourphotography.

Photo taken using Nikon D5000.

This is another #sunset we enjoyed from a vantage point in Puguis, La Trinidad, Benguet where I am from. What I like about this is that there seems to be two suns. I don't know to explain this. Maybe someone can post a link to explain how this happened.

The first sun is trapped in the clouds. Notice that one bright orb that is surrounded by clouds. It gives off different colors to the other clouds too. A lot of colors are in play here. The other sun is on the lower third part of the photo where it gives off orange and yellow colors. Maybe it was just a reflection of the sun? This really puzzles me. It is my first time to see such phenomenon.

I have been watching the sky to see if there would be another phenomenon like this but I have had no luck so far.

You can check out my other blog showing another sunset photograph from the same area I took this photo. I forgot to point this two-sun phenomenon in my previous blog. Click this link.

EDIT: Check out HALO PHENOMENON and other related sun phenomenon to explain this rare occurrence. Thanks @irvet for the info.

Very interesting phenomenon
I have never seen something like this before!
Great shoot

I have been working in the Arctic for a long time and you can often see a sunset of three suns, this effect is called Halo.

Two suns are amazing. I can't imagine what three would be like!

It looks something like this:
