Freaky colours at sunset. This is for real honest! Distant cumulus tower close to sunset. Another sunset. What looks like a line of mammatus hanging down from a patch of severe spreadout. The frilly back end of a clearing weather front. Top cover being lit in red at sunset highlighting a build cumulus cloud below.

PassingStorm5.jpg
More huge and dramatic cloudshots as the storm passes. The storm appeared to have some rotation so I was keeping an eye on the low bits for any funnel formation. As the storm clears East over the next hour the eye candy continues.
