SOME KIND OF SUPER CLOUD!

There’s a lot of activity in this cloud. Down below we see a rainbow amidst a dark and menacing storm cloud. Yet as we go higher, the cloud gets fluffier and friendlier, as the sun tries to penetrate through.

Photographer’s Description: I climbed up on my roof-top to get this shot of a swirling cloud attempting to become a tornado. This was at its peak strength in this series of shots…eventually it moved off to the left leaving in its wake some rain and something to talk about the next day!

I took 4 shots as a “Vetorama” (Panorama from top to bottom) and stiched them together with additional tweaks in Photoshop. It was an amazing sight in this area which seldom ever sees Tornado’s.
