Very nice picture, Peter. The lower cumulonimbus clouds seen from the flight deck look almost like a volcanic eruption about to explode as the pressure inside them becomes greater, while the noctilucent clouds above make the night sky look a bit like it is a large, dark blue lake, moving with the wind that you can look straight down into and see plenty of reflections of the dramatic storm cloud’s activity below the surface.
