MANCHESTER STORM
click to enlarge
I was taking pictures of the mill, when I noticed a storm front moving towards Manchester City Center some 8 miles in the distance. My first thoughts we not 'What good pictures these will make'.. but 'Another Sky Watch post in the bag'.
......
As some of you know already I do not have my own PC and Tom hosts this one for me, I do however get the chance now and then to visit your blogs and see your picture... thank you for visiting here and commenting... I appreciate you all putting up with this one sided blog arrangement and thank you all

Pete: Wonderful captures. Happy SWF to you.
Great photos, one terrible looking storm.
This is a very photogenic storm, Pete!
Those clouds look as if they will come right down and smack that town.
Storm clouds are always exciting. Nice atmosphere captured.
ann at varying seasons
LOL, Pete! You've got your priorities right (about Sky Watch posts), but the photos, and the storm, are awesome. Good captures.
I am glad you captured the storm, Peter. I gives a warm thrill to know that you and Tom are mates. Generosity is what sets us humans apart.
In the bag is right. I love pictures like that!
I enjoy your photos, Peter. And I know the old mill means a lot to you. Is it still scheduled to be demolished? It seems fitting to have angry skies over it.
Nice photographs, Pete. The storm does look bad. I am glad you got through it OK. Hope Defor is doing OK too.
WOW... that's quite the dark clouds... sheesh. I love storms like this and you captured it perfectly!!!

Beautiful photos. Such dramatic storm clouds. Hope the universe grants you your own PC soon. Glad Tom is able to help you out in the meanwhile.
Happy weekend! Perfect one for SWF! We all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon.... Mine's up too hope you can drop by...
Beautiful Sky Shots!!!
Wow - I looked at the first one and thought "tornado!" Glad you didn't have that to deal with.
HAHA!! "'Another Sky Watch post in the bag'"! The first is my favourite, full of looming doom and drama ;)
Awesome photos! I can put up with it being a one sided thing forever with the pictures you post...these are just the type that I love. They are just so magnificent.
Stinning captures of the storm
Wonderful pictures..looks like a very heavy storm is about to pour.
Hope you can hop by my SWF post HERE. Happy weekends!
These storm pictures are great! I love the last one because of the rays of light shining through the clouds!
Your sky is scary, but marvelous!
Have a happy weekend!
Very powerful clouds

Wow very dark clouds there. Nice set of photos for SWF. Have a nice weekend.
It looks like want to rain and thats cool shot. happy weekend and SWF!

Stormy clouds Pete.
With the sun's rays piercing through the clouds, it looks as though the sun and clouds are locked in a struggle. Great captures!
That is what I like. The fist is my favorit.
Hi Peter,
Superb photos from you as always.
Nice storm!
If you do get a chance to hijack Tom's computer, My Skywatch this week looks at the skies around Bangkok and Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand
Very fine pictures for a great Sky Watch!

Hello from Colorado. Great catch of the black clouds.
You captured a stunning series, Pete!
Love the series of how the "weather" moved in. Very nice!!
So ominous. wonderfully dramatic collection.
That's an eery looking sky.
I thought it always rained in Manchester & the rare photo would be one where the sun is shining!
Good set of photos.
Beautiful cloud shots.
