Saw this rainbow the other day and rather than a 'ground to ground' arc it was up in the sky above.This photo is looking straight up.anyone know what causes this?

The Brocken spectre is a great phenomenon. Been lucky enough to see one of those.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
