On a hike way up into the Inyo Mountains on California near Tamarack Peak at 9600 feet elevation around noon local time, I took these photos of incredible sun dogs, haloes, and arcs surrounding the Sun with the skies dense with a variety of cirrus clouds.

What an important display, and a very good image of it. It contains the common 22degs features, plus an extensive suncave Parry arc and upper and lower Lowitz arcs. I will place an unsharpmask processed copy of the image on Spaceweather.

A faint lower Lowitz arc can even be traced from the parhelion upward.
