I will ask Rob if he has more of these pictures.
Nature offers most of the time a spectacular show on the Atlantic ocean .... such as the next one (also taken by somebody else)

From the Trek says:

Great balance in the sky scene and an over-all good capture. I would be tempted to crop this image somewhat, as the cloud kinda gets swallowed by all the surrounding darkness, including the 2 spot lights on the foreground RHS as they distract from the cloud (the main focal point).
