Bizarre skies

These were taken back in July here in Northern Illinois. We had a storm front come through that was short lived but had some awesome colors and curtains of rainfall. I stepped outside with the camera and snapped some shots.

Directly to the north of us:

The front with a curtain of rain and a orange sunset behind it (looking NW):

Wow! You get to step outside your house and see this view? Incredible. Love the rainbow shot, I'm always a sucker for those things.
