There is a lot of movement inside cumulo-nimbus clouds. I think those incredible forces and high air speed forced the cloud to tilt. All the other cloud bottom are aligned with the horizon, so, it could not be lens distortion. These clouds can break a small plane wings and tails, this already hapened. Some of these clouds can be huge, with about 10 miles of height.

Thanks all.

I think that would be a great image even if cropped just below the thunderhead. I find the badlands and dry creek bed very compelling in their own right, and the composition of them to be excellent.

Images within images.......yes I see that too. Generally speaking I cannot separate the land from the sky and see the sky as what sets the mood I guess.

What I meant to imply is that it is a very nice image even without the cloud, and that puts it over the top!

I like the first one best. Great shot with the light trees and the arches and the round rocks in the front. Love the silvery tones.
