The world’s smallest rainbow in the lower left corner.
It was a foggy morning in the rolling hills of East Dodgeville today. I arrived at the top of the highest local hill just in time to miss most of the fog but I did get to see what has to be the world’s smallest rainbow.
Not a rainbow, but something that’s probably a bit more rare, known as heiligenschein.

Interesting! Described on that site, a “Glory” pretty much perfectly describes what I saw that morning: http://www.atoptics.co.uk/droplets/gloab.htm
Also, I did try to get my shadow away from it and now I know why I couldn’t. Thanks for the info!
