Last week, a series of violent storms swept through eastern Australia. Australian photographer Richard Hirst was in position to capture this ‘cloud tsunami’ as it rolled in.
The formation is actually known as a “shelf” cloud, and here’s a good explanation from Gawker about how they work.
Meanwhile, Nick Moir captured a gorgeous short of surfers beneath the same, wicked sky.
