This is a superb mono image and from the flight deck .
Thanks for sharing

A good shot of the clouds taken from an airplane. The black and White Image shows up the cloud shadows really well. All the tallest cumulus cloud anvils are pointing in the same direction. From Rebecca Hill
What a stunning shot from above!! I just checked the NASA’s APOD page 18 and saw the uncanny resemblance of the two photos. Ours is much better or course.

Hi Peter,
Marvellous shot, especially taken in monochrome which, I think, lends more grandeur to the scene you were lucky to have photographed. I was entranced by it.
Now, here is a test! Your photo immediately reminded me of the marvellous image taken very far away from our planet Earth by NASA’s “New Horizons” spacecraft of Pluto,
The image and shows Pluto’s clouds. It bears a remarkable similarity to your photo! Do, please, have a look.
Image released on NASA’s APOD page 18 September 2015.
