This is said to be a natural phenomenon in Sweden. That said I can not find any definition or similar occurrence so I am not sure this is real. What do you think natural phenom or camera effect?

Time and Date note the  Perihelion: –

The Earth is closest to the Sun – at its Perihelion – about 2 weeks after the December Solstice

It however say nothing about a parahelio coming about because of it. So I am still not fully buying it.

[Update]

Facebook friend Sarah Tapp found the effect by another name from NOAA.  They call them Halos, Sun Dogs or Sun Pillars. Looks like a good explanation see their full report here.
