Storm clouds over Yorkshire: Mat Robinson

This image was taken on a journey back to York after a miserable weekend in the Midlands. Having followed this storm and been temporarily underneath it over the 80 miles up the A1, we finally found ourselves following it, with the setting sun illuminating the mammatus clouds on its back edge. This was taken at the first layby we found on between Tadcaster and York, away from the A64, with the sweep of the road acting as a guide for the eye towards the centre of the storm. How could you not grab the camera from the boot and photograph this scene?
