Unearthly Light, Heavenly Light

While eating breakfast on the morning of Friday, July 11, 2014, I noticed the sky outside beginning to take on an unusual hue. Quickly grabbing my camera I captured two different displays of color, the top image looking east and the bottom west. A momentary gap in the rainy skies that morning in Cedar Rapids, Iowa allowed the rising sun to turn convert the eastern sky into a blaze of orange, while in the west a double rainbow. Both images were taken around 5:47 AM. Within ten minutes both were gone.
