We saw the same at Mullet. At first I thought it was an eclipse but heard it was the sun rays refracting off of the moisture in the clouds.?.? Any one know why it happened. It was really cool.

The rainbow around the edge is ice crystals. Those clouds are very high up. We watched at Carrefour, Cole Bay all the way from Cupecoy.

Thanks for the explanation Elaine. It was the first time I had seen anything like it.
