so, the sun is setting to the right, but to the left there's a pit of a prism in the sky, like a rainbow. it wasn't raining, and anyway.. rainbows are opposite the sun, if you know what I mean!

this was the best pic I got, but the colours were quite vivid for about 10 minutes.

it was very strange.. any ideas please?
