Details:
This was a pleasant surprise!
It was morning. I looked outside and saw a nice sun pillar. And clouds, that were about to block the Sun. So I went to take photos of the pillar before it was too late.
I got the pictures and stayed for a while and saw the clouds running over the Sun. Surprisingly, the pillar didn't disappear. I waited for a little while longer but the halo was stubborn. Then I realized, the source was not the Sun, directly, but it's reflection! The sea is a couple of miles away and wasn't yet frozen.
As far as I know, there's been less than a dozen of recorded observations of the reflection sub sun.
