Details:
When stepping outside of my house just before sunset, I noticed more than one solar halo. In fact, it could have been a circumhorizontal arc. Photos to follow. I appreciate if you could kindly send me further details through the provided email address Thanks. Camera used was Nikon D5100.

The upper halo, that with the saturated colours, is not the circumhorizontal arc but its low-sun opponent, the circumzenithal arc. Those is therefore seen above the sun, high in the sky, while the circumhorizontal arc appears low in the sky below the sun, when sun elevation is high. Lower in the image I recognize a section of the 22gegs ring and its upper tangent arc, and some trace of 46degs supralateral arc seems to be in contact to the circumzenithal arc.
