Pileus Cap Cloud Over Storm Thunderhead at Sunset in across a storm-bright plain near Nouakchott

Pileus Cap Cloud Over Storm Thunderhead at Sunset

by Emilia Shannon

A smooth, white pileus cap cloud floats like a lid atop a towering, dark gray thunderhead that dominates the center of the frame. The setting sun casts a warm, golden glow along the horizon, illuminating the upper edges of the storm while the lower plains remain in deep shadow. Faint, vertical streaks of light drizzle hang in the air between the cloud base and the dry, dusty ground of the Nouakchott plain. The sky transitions from deep indigo near the storm to soft orange and pink where the light breaks through. Textures range from the cotton-like smoothness of the cap to the turbulent, fibrous structure of the main updraft. The flat, arid landscape stretches out beneath the storm, showing the vertical scale of the atmospheric event. The final shadow of the cloud falls sharply across the parched earth.
