Lens flares or not?

Teo

 

Characteristics of lens flares are:

1. they appear along the edges of halos, not present here,

2. they are on a line directly through the center of the flaring object, in this case the Sun, but these are not so centered,

3. they move like a dial around that center, but here there is no such motion as the Sun sets and the object remains independent of the Sun,

4. they have a balancing flare on the oether side of the flaring object, the Sun, but there is no such opposite flare.
