Anvil





anvil cloud

About half way through my flight home from Japan last week, I opened the window shade and was met with this anvil cloud formation. The anvil shape is a definite indicator of stormy weather below, and around. I couldn’t see how far this stretched to the left of the picture (so, in front of the plane) but just as I took the photo the Captain switched on the seat-belt sign, followed moments later with a request that the crew also took their seats.

“Clench”, I thought. In the end however, the turbulence wasn’t that bad – or maybe I’m becoming desensitised…
