Sunset Rainbows behind Whale’s Mouth

2025-07-29 By Roger Edwards

Sunset Rainbows behind Whale's Mouth
As a high-based supercell merged with a growing cluster of convection to its NE, I went to the back side of its tail end to catch the sunset, and got a double rainbow too.  What a spectacle it was, still just inside the edge of a backbuilding rear-flank core, with moderate rain all around, yet the “whale’s mouth” texture of the gust front’s arcus cloud still visible through the precip.  The light was diffused all around, illuminating sky and land in the warming golden glow.  This was a real treat to end one of many nontornadic yet fun northeastern Colorado chase days in 2025.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
