Blacksmith Shop Of Clouds

A grouping of several anvil-topped cumulonimbus clouds dominate the eastern horizon as seen from along Boyson Road in Marion, Iowa just after 7:00 PM on August 13, 2008. I had been walking our family dog that evening and quickly noticed the structures, so I hurried home to get my camera before the sun went down. This shot was taken from the south side of Boyson Road across from Timber Oak Court, west of Alburnett Road. The nearest cumulonimbus cloud at center still shows signs of vertical growth despite the lateness of the day.
