There looks like there are two suns setting here

[Syrinx]

It's really weird. I guess one of them is a reflection off of a cloud, or something. But it's damn strange looking.

refraction by water droplets in the atmosphere. Awesome effect!

2. where is here?

Where are you at?
And yes, there are indeed strange things with the sun these days. A listing would be too long to type.
Plus james mccanney is correct about the impact on earth of the three comets due here next May 28 (that is for 2000 cv4)

4. Those are called "sun dogs"

If the clouds are just right, you can see two of them, one on either side of the sun. Look closely at the sun dogs and you can often see that they are broken into the colors of the spectrum.

Thanks!

13. Yeah, it's one of my favorites, too.

I've seen most of those phenomena and some (like moonbows) that aren't listed there. It's amazing what goes on right over our heads; usually without being noticed.

6. Weird. I had a strange feeling about the sunset here in PA.

Not the sun itself, but the light seemed unusually beautiful.

12. Two suns in the sunset

in my rear view mirror the sun is going down
sinking behind bridges in the road
and i think of all the good things
that we have left undone
and i suffer premonitions
confirm suspicions
of the holocaust to come
the wire that holds the cork
that keeps the anger in
gives way
and suddenly it's day again
the sun is in the east
even though the day is done
two suns in the sunset
...
and as the windshield melts
my tears evaporate
leaving only charcoal to defend
finally i understand
the feelings of the few
ashes and diamonds
foe and friend
we were all equal in the end
