Well said, Harry, and I certainly go fully along with your comment.
This cloud scene reminded me of the startling cloud formations used in the epic film, “Close Encounters Of The Third Kind”. Geez! I viewed this film many a time!

The more I look at it, the more ominous it looks! The sinister sinuosity of the two top layers is nothing short of stupendous (forgive my alliteration), but it was only on a closer look that I saw the downpour dropping from the hole in the doughnut beneath. And all this set against the innocent mundanity of the architecture below. This could be the opening scene of a sci-fi blockbuster or the front cover of a seriously serious novel set in rural France. Copyright it immediately, is my advice.
Cloud majesty! Brilliant and very, very interesting. What a sight!
Laurence
Spectacular, picture, Corine.
