Do a google search on them and you will see what they are and how they are seen.

London, Colorado? I do not believe there is such a place. Do you mean Durango? And that is a place, and not to be a soon extinct Dodge/Chrysler product.

In defense of sundogs everywhere, and sensfan, please read this carefully:
'Sundog' is a common name for a 'Parhelion'
'Parhelion' means 'beside the sun', a common bright circular spot, beside the sun.
I think you should have googled like the lady so eloquently offered for you to do, before putting your foot in your mouth.

Um, I didn't hear any sarcasm from sensfan. And plucky is always sarcastic; you're not being singled out.
Did you think sensfan was saying something like "You have perfectly described a sun, dog"? As in, 'dog': a reference to your username? If so, an unfortunate misunderstanding. Nothing to get riled up over.

Very funny. Learn to read.
I clearly said that the sun was in my field of vision of well. We only have one sun, so go google that and confirm it before replying.
I totally agree. Sensfan was just being "matter of fact". The OP is seeing an affront where there was none intended. That'll be two cents please.

I reread and do apoligise to sensfan wholeheartedly. I know it's no excuse but I made the mistake of letting my offline life and mood spill over on to a public forum, so I am sorry.
As for my avatar, well.......Dave Rabbit found it funny...
