Strictly speaking thunder is the noise created by the travel of a flash of lightening, but in order for this to happen a thunder cloud is required. Getting the atmosphere of a thunderstorm as it lowers above land or water is an interesting study. This photograph was taken in the docks of St Petersburg, Russia as a thunderstorm progressed. There were breaks in the cumulonimbus clouds that allowed glimmers of sunshine through, reflecting on the water and throwing the dock landscape into silhouette.
