New England Cloudscapes

Yesterday we embarked on a fishing expedition - literally. We headed to Malpas Dam north of Armidale which (a) supplies Armidale's drinking water and (b) permits recreational fishing - about which more later. I suppose that the altitude was about 1200 m (or 3800 ft).

The thing that took my imagination immediately was the fabulous cloudscapes above the lake. The weather around here has recently turned stormy and the area around Malpas, which is significantly higher than Armidale, has generated the build-up of considerable clouds and a lot of rain. Yesterday morning started in threatening mode, but the skies lightened as the day wore on. Have a look at the pictures I took:
