Circumhorizon Arc

My first circumhorizon arc:

 

 
I saw this at noon on Sunday, 8/21/11. The noon sighting is consistent with the description of this phenomena on Atmospheric Optics:
  • colorful ice halo from cirrus clouds refracting the overhead sun
  • location parallel to and near the horizon
