Thunderhead over SeaCaves

For me a rare sight as this Cumulonimbus heads towards us over the Mediterranean here in West Cyprus heralding a great storm.
"Cumulonimbus is a dense, towering vertical cloud, forming from water vapor carried by powerful upward air currents. If observed during a storm, these clouds may be referred to as thunderheads. Cumulonimbus can form alone, in clusters, or along cold front squall lines." Wikipedia

There are full books on skies, let alone photo site groups. They rule our lives in reality and to see clouds like this is pretty marvelous as you say.

Ah, as you say, these Cumulonimbus clouds look mainly bigger to the top (like an A-bomb) but it appears, in my research at least, that they can be like this too.

Hi Toz, we've seen a few clouds on our travels haven't we. Not seem much like this though - not very British at all! Thanks for the call and glad you enjoyed it.

Impressive. Not a type of cloud we see much around here either. Was there a storm in fact?

Thanks for enjoying these clouds with me Rosa. Paphos was a great place for such skies and I took some great clouds later in the week too, so I might yet put more on here.
