This picture shows a very faint Parry arc.
 |
The same arc, together with the upper tangent arc to the 22 degree halo, is seen in these pictures. Also at the top of the second picture is part of the circumzenithal arc. The third picture is a colour and contrast enhanced version of the second, with the Parry arc much easier to see. The 22 degree halo itself is also visible in this version (though I didn't notice it when taking the picture).
