I drove through these storm clouds while travelling from work along the M5 today.It was one of those eerie,scary skies that was just waiting to drop it's rain...and worse.
I could not go home without trying to capture the mood.
The only place I could think of was my tried and trusted Lickey Hills, at the Beacon Hill Topograph.
As I was taking these shots it was Thundering from these clouds and I was only there 10 mins before the rain poured.I ended up UNDER one of the arches until it settled down to just steady rain when I could make the dash back to the car.

Great cloud formation. What a lovely place to stop for a photo.
Can't help but wonder what V2 looked like 
V1 is super, amazing clouds.
Tim
This is a wonderful composition.
That sky is really awesome.
Like the clarity of all that wonderful stonework.
I am always amazed at how clear eveything looks just before the storm breaks.
Hilary
Its always an excellent view up there. This however is a very dramatic one.
A well loved place by me too.......great for kites.
Helen
Thanks to everyone for looking,commenting and voting..I'm amazed!
As I was on yesterdays upload.
Tim....Probably put it on Tomorrow (suddenly I thought "what can I put on tomorrow".).so lifted it.
Moira...It was heavy and luckily it broke on the hill before mine.
Hilary...Yes the light seems to be magnified.
Helen...wish they were RED KITES.
INA..as I said I hid under the arch...the only trouble was the rain followed me in there...that's why I had to get out of there.
Cheers all, Keith
I love clouds, especially storm clouds, so this gets my vote.
Looks like all hell is going to break out with that sky...
Superb moody sky great shot
Don
Menacing sky but all the more a grand shot!
Johanna
Fabulous capture of the thunderhead, great sky and good idea to use this spot to use as a fg.
