Bushfire clouds

This is a weather phenomenon that took place over the Grampians National Park on 17th January, 2014. A massive bushfire swept through most of the park and was so huge, it developed its own weather. There was smoke at the bottom of the image, then an amazing lenticular cloud topped off with a thunderstorm developing much higher. As I recall, when I took this shot, I was sheltered from the fierce sun under an umbrella and the temperature on our verandah had hit 51 degrees Celsius.

 

A little extra Sunday sliding has been applied for extra colour and contrast.

 

Happy Slider Sunday!
