Excellent shot, very nicely balanced.

Thanks but hubby took the pic yesterday. I have never seen a cloud formation like that before.

Shard

I've seen formations similar, but never quite so big and dramatic.

You have a nice view.

Jerseygirl

Over the next half hour or so it spread east across the lake.

Thank you. That pic doesn't do justice to the view we have. We can see across the lake to Niagra etc. on a cold, clear day we can see the mist rising from the falls.

Stinkypup

You do indeed have a grand view!

Zoe Bell

I have exactly the same photo. When I'm back at pc I will post.

I have never seen anything so dramatic. It hit the lake and then spread. Amazing to see

Shard

Cool. Do post.

JerseyGirl's storm and one I took yesterday passing over Lake Simcoe

Stinkypup

Great storm- good job you were on the ground for that one! But... drivers get, quite rightly hammered for using cell phones, pilots meanwhile can snap away in the knowledge that the RCMP aren't looking out for them- unless they have possession of F16s or similar in their vehicle inventory!

To be fair I wasn't flying that leg... Was taken from right hand seat

On the other hand as a private pilot you actually have to demonstrate that you can fly, map read, handle the radio and do a zillion and one other things at the same time.

Still less to hit up there though!

Jerseygirl

Yes the storm pics are almost identical. Lovely colours in the second pic.

Greenhill

Well, I suppose so (when you ignore the 5.97219×10²⁴ kg watery/rocky object you're potentially travelling to at 9.8 m/s/s).

You can't ignore physics!

Zoe Bell

No you rely on it to keep you up there.

Planes want to stay in the air, you have to persuade them to come down.

Aviator

You may not want to put that theory to the test other than in trimmed S & L!
