Cumulonimbus Thunder Storm Cloud at Sunset
Sky Watch Friday
I found this storm cloud photo as I was going through my archives searching for images to enter in an upcoming photographic competition. The huge Cumulonimbus cloud is lit up a light pink colour by the setting sun, while the horizon below is silhouetted against the threatening dark blue clouds around the base of the thunder-head.
This photo was taken in Goondiwindi, Queensland. When I entered it into the Goondiwindi Photo Competition, I titled it "Thor's Masterpiece".

That is awesome, magnificent, it's stupendous. I can't find a word. It's really great.
Good job and thanks for sharing. This is probably the best cloud photo I've seen today in my opinion.
Mine is up. Come visit.
Troy
very nice, great shot, enjoy your weekend
It's amazing!
Hi Troy,
Thanks for your comment. I'll certainly drop by for a visit at your place too. Sunset and clouds..... I just noticed this is the same theme again that I've used the past few weeks! :)
Have a great SWF,
Cheers,
David
Hi me and my puppies,
Thanks for dropping round, hope you have a great weekend too.
Cheers,

Great shot cloud.
Hi sharon,
This is amazing, I was called out by my friends to have a look at this sunset a few years ago and managed to get a photo before it disappeared. So it's even amazing that I got the photo at all. Many of the best photos are purely providence.
Cheers,
David
Thanks for dropping round, luiz, hope you have a great weekend. And Earth Day I believe is coming up too, are you participating in that?
Absolutely fabulous!! That's some archive you have. :)
Beautiful! It looks like an explosion.
Beautiful shot!
Great shot!
Wow...that is some cloud! It's somewhat similar to what I posted today, too...but the one I photographed was stretched out instead of piled up high like that!
Nature is a truly amazing thing. My mom used to say, "If you painted that in a picture, no one would believe it was real!"
That's a keeper! What a beautiful photo.
great catch! In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west, the people create distinctions out of their own minds and then beleive them to be true…. mine’s up too hope you can drop by
how impressive!
Beautiful image, excellent done.
Great! :)
Beautiful forms and colours.
Ida
That's an excellent photo.
The shape of the cloud reminded me of a portuguese man of war, but then maybe me eyes are deceiving me!
That's an awesome cloud you got there.Great capture
amazing...
Will you visit mine Thanks
Hi ellen b,
I've got 2 years worth of archive on my blog now, it's certainly a lot to search through! It's great to have somewhere to select pics from though, not have to go through to 20,000 every time! :)
Cheers,
David

Beautiful storm cloud. I love storms.
Very beautiful cloud shot David!
Amazing cloud formation.
Wow! To me, this looks like a giant oyster shell opening to reveal the beautiful pearl within.
This is a spectacular cloud photo! Awesome capture.
Hope to see your critter photo for Camera-Critters this weekend.
Awesome coloud pic, thanks for sharing. Did you use a filter (polarizing) for this pic?
That`s a great shot!
Hi dot,
I was waiting for somebody to say that! This photo first reminded me of an atomic bomb exploding, and conveys the impression of a similar power contained in the storm clouds.

David

Great shot David! I can Imagine Thor swinging his mighty hammer through the sky! I wouldn't have wanted to be under that one!
Liam the Hawk
Hi Liam the Hawk,
No, neither would I! Thankfully I think this storm was moving away from where I was standing at the time, so I wasn't in any danger from Thor's wrath. Thanks for dropping round. Hope I'll see you again soon! :)
Cheers,
David
