Last week, I flew from Toronto (YYZ) back to Montreal (YUL). I usually avoid flying at night since the low light and window reflections make it challenging to capture good photos and videos of clouds. However, every now and then, city lights create stunning views of low-hanging clouds, just like these.

Tropical Storm Clouds
With the heat easing below 30°C again this week, I’ve been looking back at last summer’s trips and those tropical storm clouds.

A fun fact from along the way: a single cumulonimbus can hold over a million…
