There has not been much comment on this one, but to my eye it's the best of the landscape bunch. Compositionally it's excellent and the distant rain adds another dimension. It doesn't have the 'thumbnail impact' of some of the other shots, but rewards a closer look.

Thanks Tony, David and Malcolm. This is my favourite too.
I must admit I was pretty scared up there when the lightning came and I was holding a fully extended tripod!

Landscape pictures like this are so much more interesting than those shot on days with blue skies and fluffy white clouds. There is real drama and menace here and your compositional arrangement is very good with the foreground pool and rock.
I'm just relieved that you and your tripod didn't suffer a lightning strike.
