Storm cloud.

Wow I had heard that Spain has had some bad weather lately, also Italy and parts of Turkey - yet we in the UK have had some lovely weather lately!!!! Wrong way round eh? I'm really pleased that you didn't venture up the Sierra, you might have had an accident or something.

It certainly looks very dramatic............even if it didn't provide any rain.........for you at least! I hope you get some soon (but nothing catastrophic of course!

Jenny,
Keith,
It's been this way for 10 days now and the weekly forecast is for more of the same. Unheard of! I travel into Madrid on bus and metro and they are ALL wrapped up in very dark and very heavy (double quilted - that sort of thing) clothes. I stand out like a sore thumb in shorts and t-shirt but what the hey, eh!!

Dramatic capture!

Thank you, William!

It seems to be everywhere. We have thunder and pouring rain again at the moment. It sounds right overhead! We have had so much of it this year. I hope your weather stays dry at least.

Superbe !
Bonne journée. Amitiés

Stunning vista !!

The light and the view: beautiful !

Well done

Andy, what an absolutely gorgeous composition here. what a great job snapping this, love the Frame around the view. well done. Best of wishes, Sarah

Thank you, Sarah. Today, the storm finally did its thang. Unfortunately far too late in the year to do any good! Water rationing and sky-high veg prices just around the corner!

The picture is pictoresque and certainely dangerous in the Sierra**********Stay wel my friend !

Hi Andy
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition and very impressive clouds to keep away from!
Best Wishes, Happy Tuesday, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!

It looks ominous!
I also have a lot of respect for thunderstorms ever since childhood when I was in a bulding that got hit by lightning....

You are quite right, Gudrun! I have been struck three times - none serious but all very evident that it was what it was. Amazingly two were 20 metres apart (but 6 months apart too) and both were as I was crossing over a railway bridge between work and home. I had an umbrella up on all three occasions and they all got hurled a long way away. On one occasion I recovered the umbrella to find that the handle (but not the canopy) had melted (I was totally unharmed!).
I am luckier than I deserve to be!

That sounds scary! Umbrellas obviously aren't the thing in a thunderstrom:-) In my case we were all unharmed, but one side of the wall was black and burnt....

Yikes! We've been having thunderstorms here, too, an oddball time of year.

At least a storm a day for the past 2 weeks!

ja wij hebben nu al drie weken de spaanse blauwe luchten
