Rainer,
I saw one of these halos around the sun today too, being caused by high ice crystal clouds. Yours I think is a bit brighter though. The cause is the same. I told my wife it meant rain within 24 hours and at least here it's true. Rain is forecast for Saturday here in western North Carolina.

Nice pic! I should have taken one too.
