I am the author of this picture (...) There is a famous painting called "Vädersoltavlan" depicting an intricate halo over Stockholm in 1535. It is also the oldest known representation of Stockholm.
My photograph is not from the same spot and not exactly in the same direction but otherwise I think it may be an interesting parallel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A4dersolstavlan and http://www.atoptics.co.uk/fz346.htm

Thank you, it is great to be able to understand what people have seen in 1535:-)
Have a very nice day!
