thunderstorm/rainbow photo(s) from my balcony

I took some pics with my iPhone of a neat storming coming in over the Atlantic a few weeks ago. I have a great view and I really enjoy sitting outside watching thunderstorms start and the resulting clouds and thunder and esp lightning! Havent got any pics of that yet. It's usually freakishly close so I dont really go outside all the way

This was the sunrising around 7am or so

This was another day around the 7am mark....I am usually up at 7am and out with my coffee at 7:02am lol watching the sunrise...This one it came quick! I was inside getting more coffee when I noticed storm clouds coming. I love watching thunderstorms and now I live somewhere where I really get to have a nice view...I really need a camera!

The last is a rainbow that was literally over the neighborhood next to the condos. I could see the beginning and end and there is NO gold at the end! Its all a sham lol nonetheless it's a cool pic imo

I would take a pic and show where the Space Center was put I am unable to zoom That place is always getting nailed by lots of rain. I swear it must seek out the Space Center daily

I am no photographer just wanted to share some cool pics from a Florida balcony I have more but I am having trouble emailing them to my account so I can upload them onto ATS. When I can I will add more to this..Thanks for looking

Ok so this is the NASA assembly building in Cape Canaveral, FL...Yes its the little blur like thing in the middle of the circles....I dont have a way to do the circles on my laptop so I did it on my iphone with some silly app I have where you are able to draw on pics very creative I must say Anyways it looks bigger than this from the balcony and you are able to see the logo on the building..Its only 20 mins from where I live.

This is where the Shuttle and rockets are launched from. I dont have shuttle pics since I just moved here and totally missed the night launch they had recently. I have pics from the rocket launches but since I dont have a real camera when I take a pic all you see is the smoke trail from the rocket where as in person I see the rocket...Anyways here it is and again I used the same silly app to do the circles

Sorry that I wasnt able to make the places clearer but thats all I got!

Here is the NASA Assembly building from an aerial view I found online....If you have been to the Space Center then you know this building

Some nice pics and you got quite the nice view from the balcony there.
I love thunderstorms. Nature is beautiful in many ways.

The funny thing about this is we had a rainbow here after a storm about 3 days ago. It was lovely. What are really stunning are the double rainbows if you've seen them.

Thanks Yes the view is very nice and quite relaxing...

There was a double rainbow about 2 weeks ago but by the time I got home from work it was gone I was at the beach a few months ago and there was a rainbow around the sun. It was neat because there wasnt a cloud in the sky either, just a rainbow around the sun.

I can't see any of the pics for some reason.

Nope, just completlely blank. No worries, I'll try it with IE, maybe it's a Firefox addon or something. :-p

EDIT: Yep, it was Firefox! I'll have to look into which addon isn't working correctly. Those are great shots, thanks for sharing!

The sunrise in particular is amazing!

Yeah I love watching the sunrise, maybe that is why I am always up so darn early! I usually go out in the morning with my coffee and watch the sunrise. If its too humid or the mosquitos are bad I only go out for a smoke..lol Its usually really nice out.

Very beautiful pictures! And thats so cool you live so close to the shuttle launch! When they launch one again, PLEASE take plenty of pictures for us to see!
