A sign of bad weather in the distance:
Olympus XZ-1, 50mm, ISO100, f8, 1/1250s
These clouds sometimes just pop up in summer on otherwise sunny days, and you can observe them expand upwards; they can grow to over 15 kilometers in height.
Very nice to look at they may be, but they are not so nice to stand under, as they often produce thunderstorms, heavy rain, and strong winds.
There's a colour version of this photo on this Dutch Wikipedia page, but don't worry about my having stolen it; I put it there.
Thanks for watching!

I like seeing storm clouds like these on hot days in the summer. It means relief is on the way.

True, but the relief can be a bit over the top, much like the event causing a gentleman on the Titanic to say: "I asked for some ice, but his is ridiculous".

Wow! That's an awesome cloud shot. We used to see some great Cumulonimbus up in New South Wales but not so often here in Tasmania.

I discussed it with a meteorologist on the day, and he said it was about 80 kilometers (50 miles) away from me at the time I took the photo. Very big 8-).
