Cumulonimbus storm clouds
Cumulonimbus storm clouds. Cumulonimbus are large, turbulent clouds which carry rain or hail. Cumulonimbus clouds usually form from puffy cumulus clouds at a much lower height which grow vertically instead of horizontally, giving the cumulonimbus a characteristic mushroom shape. The flat anvil-like mass of high cloud at centre right, known as an anvil dome, hammerhead or thunderhead, is a clear sign of an impending thunderstorm. It forms because the cloud has reached the tropopause, the barrier between the troposphere and the stratosphere, and cannot rise any higher into the warmer air above it.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring beauty and power of cumulonimbus storm clouds. These massive, turbulent clouds are nature's way of announcing an impending thunderstorm. Rising from puffy cumulus clouds at a lower altitude, these towering giants grow vertically, creating their characteristic mushroom shape. At the center-right of the image, we witness a flat anvil-like mass known as an anvil dome or hammerhead. This distinct feature is formed when the cloud reaches its limit in the troposphere and cannot ascend any further into the warmer air above it. It acts as a clear sign that a thunderstorm is on its way. Photographed over the Ionian Sea near Albania, this picture showcases not only the meteorological phenomenon but also highlights the stunning natural landscapes found in this region. The dark and ominous clouds contrast against the vastness of both sea and sky, creating a dramatic scene that evokes feelings of both wonder and respect for Mother Nature's might. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of how small we are in comparison to Earth's powerful forces. It serves as a reminder to appreciate our planet's intricate climate systems while marveling at its ability to create such breathtaking displays like these cumulonimbus storm clouds.
