There may be troubles ahead.....

Took a pic of this guy on Blackford hill, initially I just liked the silhouette but when I looked at the shot on a bigger screen I noticed the huge Anvil cloud looming up.

Anvil clouds, which are mostly composed of ice particles, form in the upper parts of thunderstorms. They get their anvil shape from the fact that the rising air in thunderstorms expands and spreads out as the air bumps up against the bottom of the stratosphere. This is because the air in the stratosphere is warmer than the rising air in the anvil, and so prevents the relatively cooler anvil air from rising any farther.
