Photos of Clouds minutes before a downpour, and a double rainbow!

[Sam Kennedy]

I looked out the window at the clouds, and noticed that they had a nice colour to them, so I decided to take some photos.









Then I noticed in my back garden I could see a nice double rainbow

So I got this sorta nice panoramic picture of it:



Here is another:



Don't you normally get a rainbow after it rains? This appeared before :S

I suppose most commonly you get a rainbow afterwards because the rain usually goes from west to east and allows the clouds to clear before the rain has stopped, thus allowing the sun to show. In reality though, you can have a rainbow whenever the sun is at a proper angle to hit the rain before it hits the ground.
