Quite excellent view! Is it summer, isnt it?
I think the colored circle around the sun is the 22-degree halo (seems to be more colored than expected), and the white circle crossing this halo and the sun is parhelic circle, and the lower rainbow is circumhorizontal arc. The center of the parhelic circle lies at zenith.

What an amazing and colorful display. The circumhorizontal arc looks exceptionally long and well-defined. Thank you for sharing these gorgeous pictures!
