Convective cells passing over the early evening fields outside Maghera on a warm and humid day on June 9th 2011 with nice cloud structure. Not long before this image was taken there were reports of a nasty hail storm over Swatragh, this cell was the culprit sporting a nice lowering as it slowly moved from L to R across the countryside, a new light hail shower had just formed behind it, you can even see a few streaks to the upper L of frame from the hail stones catching sunlight as they fell from the sky, a friend and I also saw an interesting lowering back in there which we came close to calling a funnel however without a decent view we couldn't be certain, nothing better than feeling the sun on your face on a Summer's evening with storm clouds brewing for a dramatic scene. * All images are available for sale in the form of photo prints, canvas or digital files for licensing, if you are interested in a purchase simply drop me an email. |
