“If we Texans get just an itty bit of a cloud, we all say it is a thunderstorm coming,” says Ron. This little Cumulus fractus over Waco, Texas, US offered no chance of rain, of course. Last summer, Ron tells us, they had over 92 days without a drop. And if you look closely, you might see the cloud appears to be trying to knock the Sun down with a hammer.

I have taken in the view from this spot for exactly 50 years and having worked in the Met Office from 1947 to 1950 I can appreciate the superb cloud formation. I have spoken to John Spur on the promenade here many times but it was only two days ago that he told me of his interest in photography. The photograph is outstanding as are the other photographs he took with the Sunderland lighthouse in the background – see wwwdpreview.com. The award winning one under the catagory of Waves is exceptional and the one of the Tanker entering the harbour is an absolute joy.
Stunningly beautiful scenery! Masterly photography!
Beautiful image, John. Classic & timeless landscape, with a glowing sky that just seems to stretch forever…
Everything looks slippery, even the clouds. Very nice
Wonderfully silky folds, John! They create a very special atmosphere here.
