Image Caption: The overshooting tops of a series of strong thunderstorms are seen in this late afternoon scene over the African Ivory Coast, exact location unknown. The low sun angle of the setting sun casts long shadows, accentuating the shapes and heights of the clouds. This seasonal thunderstorm is an African Intertropical Front located along the land/sea breeze interface over the West African coastline and is a normal occurance for this time of year.
