With these high temperatures and humidity, the energy in the atmosphere has to go somewhere, and tonight, it came to Parwich. This picture was taken at 7:30 pm tonight 29th June 2009. The cloud formations were spectacular, and what you don’t get from this still picture is the turbulent movement in the formations. Though there are rumblings and flashes, so far, as of writing this, we have been spared the storm.

Fantastic photo.What an amazing sky. It would make an incredible painting. I was hoping that it would rain so that I wouldn’t have to water my pots which are really wilting. Perhaps the weathermen are right and we are going to have an amazing summer. Interestingly, local farmers making hay at the moment are saying that the yields are down because we had a dry spring. However the flowers in my garden are the best they have been for years – I wonder why. What do other gardeners think?
What an amazing photo! Well shot Graham.
To my mind it’s worthy of submission to The Cloud Appreciation Society – http://cloudappreciationsociety.org/
I agree – what a stunning photo. Our garden also seems to be enjoying its best summer ever, but it’s also high time that it enjoyed a good dose of rain.
(In reasonable quantities, that is; we could do without having the geranium “hedge” flattened…!)
Oh, and am I just hallucinating, or is that a baby lamb in the lower central area of the cloud formation, staring at the church spire and helping to blow up the storm?
I think its actually a rabbit Mike.
Ive sent in a picture of the storm cloud taken over the sports event which hopefully will get posted somewhere.
Beautiful!
I think it’s one of those little Ghostbuster monsters, puffing its cheeks and blowing at the church spire.
I thought that! Either that or ET looking for the missing phone in the telephone box to phone home.
