An image taken on film during last week of 2000, on the coast just south of Caernarfon.
Happened to be in the right place at the right time

Interesting, … hopefully someone on the site can explain what is going on.
Meteorologists or pilots or people who know too much should know.
Any idea yourself?

Nice and interesting cloud with the reflection.
Without the foreground it would be more simple… IMO.

Right place at the right time. Like this and agree with Roberto.
Tell us more if you know how it happened?

In the US these are seen as the starting of storms. AFAIK they call them anvil clouds where the warm air rises and condenses in the afternoon heat to generate the thunderstorms. But as it’s not the US, or warm it’s just a funny shaped cloud.

I’d tend to agree with Roberto on this one. The image is a simple one but the foreground does distract.

Thanks everyone for your comments. This is what I was told it was…
“..an anvil of a cumulonimbus cloud as it rises up and collides into the troposphere, where it then seperates and spreads across”
