    …but holding lots of volume, has stark relief in the afternoon sky. An example of how towering Cumulus hit mid-level altostratus clouds.

    Scene notes:

    The thunderstorm moves past the frame, right to left. The lightning illuminates the cloud stochastically as the city, outside of the frame, lights the clouds from below constantly. Leaving behind some of itself as it passes overhead, the ‘cell’ is moved by outflow from other storms.

    12 seconds and 1 frame.
