A thunderstorm rolled in the other day. Here are a few shots. The cloud on the left has a second cloud on top. This is what we call a Pileus cloud (seen better in the fourth picture).
Also, the cloud on the right has a bright spot on its lower-right corner. This was a spot of very bright iridescence. Unfortunately, the camera couldn't catch it right, so it isn't as visible in this shot.
Also, we don't often think of it, but the big cloud on the right is really the underside of a big anvil (cumulonimbus) cloud.
