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)

Most beautiful show at sea

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).
