The two rainbow-tinted patches of light flanking the sun on both left and right are called sundogs. Caused by floating ice crystals drifting high in the atmosphere and more usually seen when the sun is almost at the horizon in early morning or late evening, sundogs are a rare-enough phenomenon to observe from a city location in the mid-afternoon.
Watch the skies!

Other Aberdeen is a broad church - discourse is welcome. You're welcome to disagree with us, but do be polite. We hate it when people aren't polite.
One thing we really hate is hostile or disingenuous trolling and so comments like that will be removed. Unless of course we can use Kung Fu to turn the hostile or trolling comment to our advantage or entertainment.
We'll also remove any comments which promote commercial concerns, we hate that too. Ian Jamieson - don't do that again. Your obsequious over-solicitousness is a dead give-away and shows you to be a lazy dishonest twat attempting to hide your true motivation. Actually - that's *very* Aberdeen.
Oh, and don't abuse the facility to comment anonymously, or we'll just remove it.
