I don't think  it is a rainbow, it's a snowbow.  The arc is produced by the 
angle of the sun, yourself and the nature of the prism producing the "bow". 
With a rainbow the sun is behind you and the arc is produced as part of a 
circle around the axis extending from the sun through you toward the 
rainbow.  In this case I believe the sun was just above the picture and the 
two bows were parts of circles around the sun.  Clearly the prismatic effect 
in the ice crystals was different from what happens in rain drops.
