Ragnarök?

Judgement Day and Twilight of the Gods is very appropriate here! The final battle at the end of the world!!!

Also reminds me of the clouds in the final scene of the first Terminator film, when Sarah Connor is driving away with her child, saying: "A Storm is Coming"...

Apart from all that (!!!) your photo is REAL while nothing else I have mentioned is... !!! :-D

Splendid capture indeed!! :-D

Ah... I loved the first Terminator film! :o) So cool it reminds you of that ;o)
And yes, the photo is real... it was a rather stormy weekend... I had trouble keeping on my feet a couple of times... and the tripods fell over a couple of times ;o)

Thank you so much Nigel! :D

Wow! It's really impressive!!!
But what picture do you think is the most dramatic cloudscape?

Pixiepro replies:
Thanks Angela! :o)

Hmmm... it's a tough choice... there have been a lot of dramatic cloudscapes here... but I think in my photos this one takes the win - a huge cloud came rolling in, extended one huge tendril and poured rain over the aluminium plant:

Sometimes God smiles whilst all around the Devil pisses
(I advise looking at it in the original size... and I must say I love the title provided by Kevin) ;o)
