By steamy sun I am not referring to the steam coming out from the factory, I mean that hazy halo around the sun.
It's nothing more than an optic illusion created by the fumes in the air and the sun glow behind it.
And by now you probably already figured out what I meant by "its twin" too.
Another optical trick created by a lens flair. Something that happens pretty often when shooting the sun directly. Each lens can be less or more prone to do it, depending on the coating it has and other geeky details.

And here in this second image is where the "weird cloud formations" come to play.
I shot this in a day that I thought I wouldn't be able to get any usable image (sunset wise). That thick layer of clouds decided to pop into the frame exactly in the worst moment, covering the horizon and the sun almost completely.
Then I slowly started to see a shape getting more and more defined as the clouds kept moving and the sun kept back-lighting them.
All the sudden, in the right upper corner a giraffe appeared to say hi, or some other type of herbivorous with an overgrown neck...
