Hi
Yes it could be seen with the naked eye no problem. I had to wait for the clouds to cover the sun so I could take the picture. I have done a quick google search and it seems it is the suns corona/halo. It did completely encircle the sun and the inside sky was darker than the sky outside it. They was very little cloud about nice blue sky and had to wait for the cloud cover before taking the shot

A corona occurs closer to the sun due to water droplets in the clouds.
Went to a Patrick Moore lecture a few years ago and he discussed the phenomena
Then how come it was there before the clouds and after they went at least 3/4 hour I watched it. even with a clear blue sky
