The poem, High Flight, depicts some of what is going on in this photo,albeit by clouds instead of an aircraft.

..I’ve chased the shouting wind along,...

And, can you see the cloud-horse with ears down in the wind, ready to eat the blown-over grass?

I absolutely love storm transitions with their dramatic clouds and lighting effects. This one is particularly impressive with those dangerous black clouds on top and the brilliant gold clouds on the bottom. The "horse" is great also. Excellent exposure and superb capture of this event. :toast:
