BNSullivan.jpg "Rain squall over the ocean")
Location: Kohala Coast, Big Island, Hawaii
Late one afternoon we watched as some offshore clouds began to pile up. This cumulonimbus cloud formed before our eyes, and a rain squall ensued as the clouds moved along, parallel to our coast. Unfortunately for us, the rain stayed offshore.

I love the sublte colors in this - very moody and lovely.
That is so cool being able to tell that's rainfall out there too. Such a full cloud...

Those huge clouds are very impressive!
Wow! This is such a fabulous shot. How nice to find another Kamaaina on Sky Watch.
Very nice shot!, Thanks for stopping by my blog..
Such rough weather to have such beautiful soft coloring. Your views always have me in awe.
Very, very nice.
I am always impressed when someone knows cloud names. Or bird names. Flower names, I can do a bit of those.
Great voluminous (is that a word?) clouds.
That is gorgeous. I love the variety of colors in the sky.
What a dramatic eye-catching photo - very impressive!
Thanks also for your lovely comments on my Sky Watch contribution this week too!
Large clouds, must have been a great feeling watching them.
Wow, that is incredible! Such a beautiful cloud formation. Happy SWF. :)

A beautiful photo! And why does it rain on the ocean? Does the ocean need rain? I'm sure that is frustrating sometimes.
Dramatic kind of sky that I'm praying for currently! :P
Happy SkyWatch!

You really do get the most amazing sky shots. This is awesome. It must have been great to watch those clouds roll in.

So many different kinds of light going on in this photo. Great Sky Watch.
I bet that was a bit scarey. Good thing it stayed off shore. A wonderful image!
Tremendous. Did you get wet?
Look at the rain! Beautiful!
A great capture, it must be nice to photographing it raining and not get wet.
That is some storm moving in. Its lovely to capture them before they arrive.
I hope you were under cover when it did arrive.
Thanks for your visit and comments SWF.
Incredible shot! I love an interesting storm sky!

Great skywatch shot, it is always cool to watch rain falling over the sea. Sorry you didn't get the rain you needed.
Thanks so much to all of my SkyWatch friends for visiting, and for your wonderful comments. I appreciate it.
