My bus ride to work these days lasts about 35 to 40 minutes. I usually travel on the upper deck, at the front if I can get that seat I'm noticing occasions when the clouds can move swiftly to provide many different vista's as I travel. It is tricky to take pictures out the bus window as the ride is quite bumpy and the windows are usually a bit dirty. Here are a couple of examples I took yesterday, just before I got on the bus to work...

...This first shot taken about 50 yards from the house shows lovely fluffy white clouds. But just as I rounded the corner, I came upon this ominous site...

...Both these shots were taken within 3 minutes and within 5 more I was on the bus just in time to avoid a short hailstorm. Do any of you agree with me that the weather changes faster than ever these days?
