Release the Unicorn... From Atop Da-da's Minivan

This appeared over a town in Northern CA that Da-da was visiting. (Pardon the bad stitch job, Da-da only had his phone camera, which is limited.) It's the warmer-climate, sunset-version of this recent sunrise pic from frosty New Mexico:

These occurrences are rare. The fact that they're appearing more and more seems significant. The fact that a unicorn is sitting atop Da-da's TARDIS LX minivan is both significant AND disturbing.

Parry arcs, a Sun pillar, a parhelion, a halo and four other types of ice crystal arcs.
All rare. All appearing at the same moment. It begins. [click for larger image]
