Twinned Sundog?
Imaged over Vienna by Jonathan Shock (jonstraveladventures).

These �twins� are part of the same relatively tall sundog produced by plate crystals wobbling a degree or so from their normal horizontal alignment. We would see the full extent of the �dog� if the crystal bearing clouds were continuous. As it is the two separate clouds separately light up to show sections of the sundog. Sundogs appear in many shapes and guises.
