Double anvil thunder clouds. This was the first time I had seen to so close.

Thanks to Elna for the lovely texture !!

One of the exposed parts of an ancient forest on Low Hauxley beach, this one looks a bit like an Anvil

A huge anvil cloud high overhead arrived at the perfect time for a sunset show that lit up the whole sky.... It was one of the best sunsets I've seen here this year.

This is what we saw many times at the back of a large thunderstorm cluster over northeast Nebraska.

Anvil crawler lightning: a lightning discharge occurring within the anvil of a thunderstorm. It is characterized by one or more channels that appear to crawl along the underside of the anvil.

Another view of the Anvil Stone at Bleaklow Stones, perhaps showing better how it got its name.

A sky so big it didn't even fit in a panorama shot.....

In the last days of the meteorological summer, showers and thunderstorms formed in a polar airmass. They looked more like autumn thunderstorms than the ones we saw earlier this summer.

Views were amazingly clear and transparent with beautiful convective structures. At sunset the anvil of such a storm was beautifully lit by the low sun.

The Anvil Stone on a snowy morning at the head of Grindsbrook.

1400 Feet above sea level on the windswept Moors above Todmorden is an escarpment of Gritstone which has been shaped over centuries by the ravages of its hostile Pennine climate.

There are quite a number of fabulously shaped outcrops and the one at the top of this incline is shaped like a giant Anvil. The area gets its name from a prominent boulder called "The Great Bridestone" which is shaped like an upturned bottle with a very narrow base.

The weather was very overcast and this was as good as the light got during the visit. I did like the old wall providing a lead in to this scene with the winter grasses providing plenty of texture!

remarkable weathering at the Bleaklow Stones - a favourite stone of mine...

Una bellissima nuvola temporalesca, fotografata qualche tempo fa.

Mi piaceva moltissimo il colore perlaceo della nube, e per questo trovo che il bianco e nero la rappresenti perfettamente :)

Buona giornata

Polar shower with clear rain shaft is illuminated by the last light of the setting sun.

This cumulonimbus cloud produced a few rumbles of thunder before it faded out after sunset.

From today over Horsham Way - possibly even further

Huge!

The Anvil Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse located near Swanage in Dorset, southern England. The lighthouse is built of local stone and was completed in 1881. It was opened by Neville Chamberlain's father, then Minister of Transport. The lighthouse tower is twelve metres tall, the height of the light above the high-water mark is 45 m (148 ft). The light is positioned to give a waypoint for vessels passing along the English Channel coast.

I love the sound of a farrier hitting a horseshoe on an anvil. A good anvil will ring like a bell. I've never owned a full sized anvil but will always collect small examples. The largest here was probably for a gunsmith the smaller ones were most likely jewelers anvils. the two cast iron anvils were used as salesman's samples. I have used them in the past as paper weights and the largest as a door stop.

A bolt of lightning leaps out under the anvil of a severe thunderstorm near Arnett, OK on June 21, 2020.

The anvil cloud at the top of a thunderstorm, seen from an airplane window at sunset. It was really cool to see and really hard to photograph well. Taken somewhere between Chicago and Boston.
