Stormy weather

[Peter Ward]

I was going through some old files recently and found a bunch of images
I'd forgotten about that I'd taken while gainfully employed.
...some of which have already gained notoriety...
but I liked this slightly imperfect frame
somewhat better than earlier publications.

Not deep sky, but not really landscape either.
I'll let the mods sort it

Hope you enjoy the rarefied view

Great picture, no need to explain what an anvil cloud is . Thanks for sharing.

That is one cool image! Very well done.

Thanks to one and all for your positive comments.

The storm was quite active.
Lightning acted rather like a honking big strobe light, freezing any motion relative to the cloud, giving it a nice sharp outline.

I had witnessed another remarkably rare event out of Hong Kong on a different flight..blue jets (worth a Google) from the top of a very active storm!

Unfortunately I did not have a camera with me to record the remarkable sight and despite 20,000+ hours in my log book, never saw a similar display again.
