The sun was about 1.5 degrees above the horizon for this brief but reasonably bright bow, much of the secondary is also faintly visible.

The distortion caused by stitching the images together makes the secondary seem further away at the top but it is really the same distance from the primary all the way round.
Composite of 5 images.

A single frame showing the brightest part of the bow. The sun was so low that most of the foreground was in shadow.
|
Zooming in shows the secondary a bit better but the low sun means that the blue edge of the bow is relatively weak.
|
|
For a minute or two the upper sections of the bow showed a couple of supernumerary bows.
