Details:
I am writing to share a photograph I captured on 10 November 2026 in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain.
While observing the sky, I noticed several unusual rainbow-like formations appearing simultaneously around the Sun.
After looking into these phenomena, I believe the photograph may show three atmospheric optical features:
- Circumzenithal arc – An inverted rainbow-shaped arc visible high above the Sun.
- Left sundog (parhelion) – A colourful patch to the left of the Sun.
- Right sundog (parhelion) – A similar, fainter patch to the right of the Sun.
All three appear within the same photograph, accompanied by distinctive high-altitude cloud formations.
I have attached my original, unedited photograph to preserve the natural colours and atmospheric details.
I would be very interested to know whether you could confirm the identification of these phenomena and whether this combination is particularly unusual.
I would also be delighted for my photograph to be considered for publication or inclusion in your atmospheric optics gallery, subject to your submission requirements.
