Diamond dust haloes in the German Alps

The origin of ice crystals were definitely natural. The clouds came from the very cold Inn valley and creeped up the mountain sattle. The sun elevation was 18 to 20 degrees.
I've seen with naked eye the following haloes: : 22° halo, upper and lower tangent arc (extremely bright!), complete sun pillar, 46°halo (very faint lower part), complete parhelic circle, anthelion, 120deg parhelia, infra- and supralateral arcs, Wegeners anthelic arc (one of the cross bows), Tricker's and diffuse anthelic arcs, heliac arc, subhelic arcs and Moilanen arc.
More pictures are here.

The best separate crystal -display I know.
Thanks a lot, Marko!
Patrick, I'm not sure with Parry arc. The unsharp mask don't show a clear line. I think it's "only" the brightnes area above the upper and within the lower tangent arc.
With naked eye I also haven't seen a Parry.
Best wishes
Claudia
