Cumulonimbus at Sunset 28th April

[Evening thunder]

Hi all

Yesterday evening I decided to go for a walk in the countryside around here. There were some lovely clouds and CB cells around, especially at sunset. Heres some pics I took

these first pics were before sunset

1 this small cell with te sun behind it would eventually grow as it came closer and become beautifully back lit at sunset

2

3 view to the north or NNW

4 a bit later the cell was creating a shadow that streched across the whole sky

5

6 that cell a bit later from a different position

8 looking NNE (apple trees in the foreground)

You could have resized them - but I'll let you off because that is one great-looking cloud. You could have passed that off as a supercell if you told us you were in Kansas

Hi there yes I suppose I should have resized them but I don't have anything to resize them with. I have been meaning to get somthing and will think about it when I next upload any pics

I did think that it looked a bit like a supercell when I was taking the pics but I dont think It was though.

Ive just noticed that the writing next to pic 6 should be next to pic 7 sorry about that

Those are some very impressive convective photos there, indeed those latter ones wouldn't look out of place in the plains, esp 13 and 16 amazing!

Great Pictures - shame about the size though.

Maybe its just me but picture 6 looks like it might just have had a funnel developing to the westside of the storm.
