That looks eerily like a thundercloud/head.

Yes, that is a Cumulonimbus cloud--they do tend to generate thunderstorms. Nice pic! Wish we had more of those around here!

If you approach such a Cb with a glider, you go straight up and get sucked into the cloud. In the inside, there are winds over 200km/h and gaints hail balls. You never get out of it alive...believe me!

Now there's something about that just makes me giggle like a school girl.

That's cool Ashar! I like taking shots of clouds but they never look as good on camera as they do in realy life. :(
And I love the mountain in the backround. Rome looks like a neat place! :)

No, but it's what they told me during meteo class at the local soaring club. Do I really have to explain everything?  ;)

Beautiful!! Classic "anvil" shape, meaning it's still developing vertically, and the high-altitude  winds are shearing the top off. Sometimes those beasts can fling rain and hail dozens of miles downwind... Thunderheads are beautiful to see... from the ground. ;)
