Here's one I saw last Autumn - they often come in pairs one each side of the
sun and occasionally a third one above the sun.

LUG:

I've always called the slight rainbows around the sun a sun dog and 
wikipedia seems to agree, but I can't find any information on the 
rainbow reflections in the clouds opposite the sun, not around the 
sun.  Does anybody know if there is a particular name for this 
atmospheric optical phenomenon?  I have to keyword the stock photos.
