Iridescent Cloud Tower Over Bhutan Storms

Sunlight strikes a towering cumulus formation rising above a sea of stacked thunderheads, creating a shimmering iridescent sheen along its upper ridge. Below, the horizon stretches across the rugged peaks of Bhutan, where snowflakes drift gently against the heavy gray masses. The scene reflects off a distant water surface, casting a cool, salt-air brightness across the lower atmosphere. Layers of dark storm clouds contrast with the bright, pearlescent edges of the central tower. The perspective looks down from high above, revealing the texture of the falling snow as it mixes with the mist clinging to the mountain ridges.
