Description
It's quite amazing how localised weather can be. This awesome looking cloud was moving at high speed up from the valley below where the rain was already falling at its heaviest. Up on the hill there was the brightest sunshine!The main city from my area is down there in that valley ...it's a very small city
TECH NOTE: The color was achieved by setting the camera's White Balance to 10000K which would normally only be used for full shade (very blue light). This forced the shadows to look 'normal' while the sunny areas became much warmer.

Wonderful shot. I've always been amazed by the forms clouds can take and the way the sun can play with them.

Thanks! Well, actually none of my pics are HDR. I have tried it for the purpose of comparison ...but my results with the camera control (exposure, white-balance, filters etc) were always so much better.
