Details:
On Thursday evening (21st) a bank of cumulonimbus clouds moved towards Mutare an hour after sunset and produced a spectacular display of reflections of late volcanic sunset glow as it grew in size and developed features (pileus caps, and anvil shapes) normally only associated with thunderstorms during the rainy season! The accompanying extraordinary pictures (three of which have been used to produce the lead animation) are 4 second time exposures taken with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 camera mounted on a tripod to obtain sharp images which bring out the surreal colour and low light detail. Some include stars in the Centaurus, Crux, Carina and Vela constellations in volcanic sunset sky which would otherwise have been completely dark so late in the evening.
