A calm Friday evening in June over Stavanger/Sandnes

Sundogs, sometimes called Sun Dogs, Parhelia or Mock Suns, are with the 22º halo, the most frequent of the ice halos. They are most easily seen when the sun is low. Look about 22°to its left and right and at the same height. When the sun is higher they are further away. Each 'dog' is red colored towards the sun and sometimes has greens and blues beyond. Sundogs can be blindingly bright, at other times they are a mere colored smudge on the sky. They are visible all over the world and at any time of year regardless of the ground level temperature. In Europe and North America one will be seen on average twice a week if searched for.
