It’s because of the ice crystals in the clouds. Seriously, you can look it up. Makes for pretty (and stretchy) sunsets in any event.
Whatever

Very similar to a sundog. We get those in cold cold weather.
Stretchy sunset = 100% natural Daylight Saving Time.
cool!
Great website that describes and displays all kinds of atmospheric optical phenomena: http://www.atoptics.co.uk/
Cool picture. I wonder what it would look like if you stretched it to the proportions of a book cover? Probably pretty scary.
Great shot!!! What kind of camera did you use? A digital SLR or a snapshot camera?
I’m still tempted to alter your wikipedia profile to read “John Michael Scalzi II (born May 10, 1969) is an American photographer best known for his sunsets, other nature shots, and pictures of his pets. He also writes.”
In the meantime, I’ve updated the short fiction and awards listings. I think they are up to date now.
