Here is a photo I took this past summer behind my house. It was a clear blue afternoon except for one gigantic cloud filled with fluffy brilliant colours. I've never seen anything like it. Enjoy!

Re: The only cloud in the sky..

AMAZING pic!!! What you have there is a textbook image of a thunderhead. It is a very powerful storm cell. A formation of cumulonimbus clouds that form due to the strong updraft at its center. That updraft flattens the cloud at its top, as it meets the stratosphere. These are dangerous systems that usually are the ones responsible for damaging hail, winds, and spawing tornadoes!! cool.gif

Thats interesting, I always wondered what the cloud meant. Thank you everyone for the kind words.
