I’m sure there must be a scientific name for this snowy weather phenomenon, but I don’t know it, so I’m going with “snow rainbow” haha. I never really seen anything like it before. There was a bunch of tiny bits of snow kind of floating and blowing around and it caused this crazy rainbow light and a strange atmosphere. I’m not crazy about landscapes, but if I could get bizarre light like this more often, I’d shoot these type of photos more regularly :).

I was out shooting this location with a friend of mine and took a picture of him in a serious photography stance there haha.
Thanks for stopping by, Rob

Actually the real name is parhelion, but most people just call it a sun dog, including the band Rush who use it in one of their lyrics. They are pretty cool, I always enjoy seeing them.
Oh nice! There we go, I knew you smart people out there would come up with the info :). I’m really familiar with Rush’s music, but I hear they are pretty good :).
You are so lucky to see and photograph one of these. See Wikipedia for more info on Sundogs.

Hi Rob! Would you mind sharing where this tree is? I’ve been looking all around the city for a tree in a field like this and I can’t find any!
Hey Carlin, ya no problem. It’s in the North West just past Tuscany. Just over the hill on the South West corner of the intersection of Crowchild & 12 Mile Coulee Road.
