Following a torrential shower and hail that swept across Western Hungary, clouds form into a vast ring over the region of Gyoer, 124 km west of Budapest, Hungary, May 25, 2010.

Ominous clouds

Isn't mother nature amazing?

That is so cool looking! I like this one a lot! It's kind of Lord-of-the-Rings-ish.

      Wow. Sometimes I wish San Diego got interesting weather like this.

      Alas, it is blue skies and sunshine all the time.

              Yes, this is an amazing display of beauty! Great photo. I stand in awe, however, not of the nature itself, but the God who created it.
