Guess I will post a picture to get this theme started!
This was taken several years ago on the beach at Ocean City, NJ. A storm was moving in late afternoon and made for lots of interesting cloud formations and lighting.

Panasonic DMC-FZ28. 11mm at F/8 for 1/400 sec. ISO 100.

Impressive thunderheads, Carolyn. I like the back lighting.

Neat looking thunderhead with all of those fluffy pillows. (Cumulus Congestus is what the cloud physics/meterology folks call these and the name seems very fitting.)

It almost looks like a caricature of the man in the moon.

Great composition Carolyn! the I like the beautiful S-curve in the foreground cloud and the nice depth with the bright cloud in the background.
