Double rainbow
Took these right after some rain. Interesting visual phenomenon with the double rainbow and the circle... the center of the circle of the rainbow has to do with where my head was (the shadow of my head creates the anti-solar point, the center of the rainbow), and I was in-line with that house and the sun at my back (this was late in the day and the sun was low, so the anti-solar point is low and near that house at the center of the image).
Crepuscular rays
are created when sunlight shines through gaps in clouds and continues through an atmosphere that contains dust and/or haze. This dust or haze scatters some of the bright light that can be seen against the darker cloud and/or darker blue sky background. The rays are actually parallel, but seen from the observer's perspective, they appear to radiate from the sun.
22 degree halo
Mammatus clouds in the distance
Took this right after some rain. Interesting visual phenomenon, which is expected… rainbows are typically lighter in color underneath (due to how the non-rainbow-forming light rays reflect in the same raindrops), and the center of the circle of a rainbow has to do with where my head was (the shadow of my head creates the anti-solar point, the center of the rainbow), and I was in-line with that house and the sun at my back.
