I think that is a kind of reflection of the light in the fog, it is more or less what happens with the sun and the humidity after the rain generating a rainbow.

You are right Flavio. Thing is i had never noticed such an arc before. Guess i"ll have to be more careful now.

So is it some kind of dust rainbow? Almost Turneresque colors.

As far as i know, it is not dust. It was just the morning mist which caused this phaenomenon. We've seen it before in that location.
