Summer Sunset Clouds

I didn't get any worthwhile sky photos this week, so here's one from the last day of August, of an ominous cloud just after sunset.
For cloudy and clear skies, visit Skywatch Friday today.

    Oh, ominous it is! What a fantastic capture, Al! Love the blue seems to slip behind those huge clouds and then turn dark! Great cloud formations. I love skies like this even though I don't always like the weather they bring us. Hope your week has gone well so far! Enjoy!

    Well, at least you are participating which is more than I can say. I do like the clouds -- sweet and innocent on the top!

    It is just beautiful, in a dark scary way. I love dark skys when the clouds roll in all dark and dreary on the bottom and soft and fluffy on the top..

    That's a beautifully sculpted clouds. The house looks very vulnerable beneath all that power in the sky.

    Hiya Al,
    What a cloud!
    And such inky blue.
    My kind of sky though, but not too close by :-)

    Huge and powerful looking cloud, shading the houses below. Looks like it is going to be a rainy day. Happy Skywatching.

    Have a nice day.
