During this past week in Brussels, I experienced extremes of weather, ranging from dark, threatening thunder clouds to gorgeous light late one day that bathed the palace in shimmering gold.

Those are really unique cloud formations. Almost looks like mountains, but, I wouldn’t think that would as seen from Brussels! Nice. M
The clouds let loose with some heavy rain not long after I took the shot. I too thought they looked like mountains, but it was all sky.
I lived in a place once where the setting sun often shown beneath the cloud layer to illuminate a mountain range. Spectacular.
Wow. That must have been awesome. The clouds were so thick and dense that it almost looks like there are mountains in the shot, but alas Brussels is relatively flat.
There’s nothing quite like that late afternoon light.
I was sure those were mountains in the distance (but what do I know about the geography around Brussels?). Very dramatic photo!
