These awesome pictures were taken recently near Comox , BC , Canada . Unfortunately no one knows who the photographer was. This is something few humans will ever be privileged to see.
The clouds are called Mammatus clouds . They don't precede a tornado, or foretell a storm, but are formed when the air is already saturated with rain droplets and/or ice crystals and begins to sink. The worst of the storm is usually over when these kinds of clouds are seen. They are quite rare, but really beautiful.

Close to Peoria, Illinois where I live closeby, the paper did an article about the bald eagles nesting off the Illinois River. My ex-wife and I drove our kids to see the great birds so close to a road, and other people would stop to gawk. Beautiful!! Majestic! I went to pick up a feather to be sent to an Indian friend (not illegal of her to have it), and although I was a ways off, one of the awesome raptors passed close overhead with a threatening stare, turning its head as it passed. The nest was close to Kewanee, Illinois, and the article was (I believe) in the Peoria Journal Star.
