Such a spectacular, dramatic picture, Marco!
Clouds look like mashed-potato or cauliflower in the sun, as they rise on the warm, mid-spring air-currents and eventually tower spectacularly and dramatically into the atmosphere from near-ground level right up into the stratosphere! Cumulonimbus clouds have definitely been my favourite type of clouds to take photos of for a number of years now, as they are always so huge spectacular and dramatic! Nature is at its best here, when the base of the clouds turn black, the lightning flashes and lights up the sky in a spectacular display, the wind starts to blow strongly and the rain starts pouring down in bucket-loads, sometimes flooding the streets and causes major destruction to trees and buildings!
Cumulonimbus clouds are never the same every time they appear in on a warm, spring or hot, summer when the weather fronts, heat and humidity create perfect conditions for them to form properly- bit like playing scrabble, which I play regularly(no game is ever the same!) This is what makes these clouds so interesting. It is always interesting making the most of it every time you see different ones on different days of the week and to photograph them whenever you can!
