Upper Lowitz Arc in the German Alps

At Oktober the 15th 2005 in southern Germany was one of the greatest Halophenomena, which had ever been observed in Germany. It was photografical documented by six Observers on a latitude of 100 km. There was seen a bright 22° halo, glittering bright sundogs with absolute clear colours and a high part of blue, a complete and bright upper tangent arc, a reddish lower tangent arc, a highly coloured and complete Circumzenithal arc, a light-coloured and nearly complete Parhelic Circle, the complete Lowitz arcs, the Anthelion, the 120 deg parhelia with oblique arcs, a single Superlateral arc, both Infralateral arcs as well as a beauty of Parry arc. Alltogether there were seen 15 miscellaneous Halotypes with 20 appearances.

Yep I remember that display, I like the upper lowitz arcs, the parry arc and nice parhelic circle.
