Cloud inversion seen from Mont Revard in the French Alps at sunset.

These were taken at midday today and they are the best "Mammatocumulus or Mammatus Clouds" i have seen for some years over Empingham in Rutland.

Not mammatus, just strangely shaped and lit so beautifully by the setting sun.

The weather we had experienced in Scotland was much the same in Northern Ireland. It did mean that I was able to get some pretty dramatic pictures

Cheap showmanship

SuperCellule, Calvados (France) 3 Octobre 2013.

La cellule électrique dévie lentement vers nous tout en gagnant la mer. Les hypothèses fusent à la suite de nos observations . Elles trouvent finalement une réponse lors de cette photographie. Suite à cela, nous prenons pleinement conscience de l'aspect SuperCellulaire de cet orage. Une magnifique colonne d'alimentation se dévoile sous la lumière des éclairs intra et inter-nuageux.

Le spectacle est merveilleux, la tension grimpe, l'émerveillement nous gagne. Les seules choses à faire sont d'admirer le spectacle, d'en profiter au maximum, d'observer son évolution...

amazing anvil cloud that towered over Austin last week

Above the peak of the right roof, in the field of clouds is a tiny jet liner flying west.

If you forget me

I want you to know

one thing.

You know how this is:

if I look

at the crystal moon, at the red branch

of the slow autumn at my window,

if I touch

near the fire

the impalpable ash

or the wrinkled body of the log,

everything carries me to you,

as if everything that exists,

aromas, light, metals,

were little boats

that sail

toward those isles of yours that wait for me.

Well, now,

if little by little you stop loving me

I shall stop loving you little by little.

If suddenly

you forget me

do not look for me,

for I shall already have forgotten you.

If you think it long and mad,

the wind of banners

that passes through my life,

and you decide

to leave me at the shore

of the heart where I have roots,

remember

that on that day,

at that hour,

I shall lift my arms

and my roots will set off

to seek another land.

But

if each day,

each hour,

you feel that you are destined for me

with implacable sweetness,

if each day a flower

climbs up to your lips to seek me,

ah my love, ah my own,

in me all that fire is repeated,

in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,

my love feeds on your love, beloved,

and as long as you live it will be in your arms

without leaving mine.

At sunset

Only marginally edited, my polarized filter is what makes the photo so dramatic.

There was some patchy overcastness moving through the area as 112 headed west out of St. Louis. Train went for sun to clouds back to sun in the span of a few miles.

There's nothing like a good old fashioned midwestern summer thunderstorm... especially dramatic from above!

Taken at Merewether Beach (Newcastle, NSW; Australia) at the weekend; I found the light and stormy skies irresistible.

Hope you find the scene and image equally appealing.....
