Explanation:
What type of cloud is that?
This retreating
cumulonimbus cloud,
more commonly called a thundercloud, is somewhat unusual as it contains the
unusual bumpiness of a
mammatus cloud on the
near end, while simultaneously producing falling rain on the far end.
Taken in mid-2013 in southern
Alberta,
Canada,
the cloud is moving to the east, into the distance,
as the sun sets in the west, behind the camera.
In the
featured image,
graphic sunset colors cross the sky to give the already
photogenic
cloud
striking orange and pink hues.
A darkening blue sky
covers the background.
Further in the distance, a
rising,
waxing,
gibbous
moon
is visible on the far right.
