The Glory phenomenon seen from the plane

Hello, everyone! Today I’m going to show you a photo I’ve taken some time ago. I was traveling by plane and as usually I had a seat at the window. I was looking out the window and I saw the airplane’s shadow on a cloud. It looked like it was surrounded by a rainbow. It was the first time I saw that. This optical phenomenon resembles an iconic saint’s halo. It occurs only when certain conditions are met simultaneously: when the sun behind a human observer, projects the shadow on a cloud lower than its position, and the respective cloud is formed by drops of water of a diameter in a well-defined range. The name of this phenomenon is Glory.
Have you ever seen this phenomenon?
