The sun was low in the sky when I witnessed the circumzenithal arc.
The "upside-down rainbow" high in the sky.
The 22 degree halo I saw was at night. It's when there is a clear ring around the moon - or the sun during the day - and is also formed when ice crystals in cirrus clouds refract light. My photographs don't really do it justice, though.
Another view of the 22 degree halo visible around the moon.
