I didnt make an effort to capture lightning as I usually do today when this storm blew through as I had enough fun just keeping the car on the road as it gusted about and flanged ground strikes left right and center all the way home from the in-laws xmas lunch. But, once home I enjoyed capturing the colours sunset had painted the sky and this is one of those shots.

Great shot Mark, the cloud colour is very dramatic. I like the silhouette of the trees as it draws the eye to the clouds.

Like the way the trees frame the sky and some terrific color and texture in those clouds...

Hi Mark
Great capture. Those clouds are so weird they hardly look real.
I managed to get some lightning pics last night - a first for me. The clouds were quite different out at Shorncliffe too, but I was flat stick trying to catch strikes to concentrate on other pics, a missed opportunity  .
All the best for the hols.
Judy

thanks
Judy , it was an interesting storm, I have yet to se the radar logs from yesterday but I do believe the storm had a good amount of rotation to it. I have a fair few other shots that show the cloud following the storm swirling in broad spirals and it was the first time I'd seen this happen here.
as far as I know, what this cloud seems to be is mammatus that has been whipped up a bit. I wanted to take shots earlier but couldnt find places to stop where I could keep the camera dry and shoot the sky. 
here's hoping for more storms today 
cheers
