In this extraordinary image a passenger plane can be seen trying to get away from a massive storm cloud sweeping along behind it.
On several occasions it is almost engulfed as it is chased across the skies of Montana in the U.S.
Doug Roane, a doctor and semi-professional photographer, happened to catch the moment on camera as he was driving home from his grandson's first birthday party.
Doug, 46, from Billings, Montana, was snapping away at the storm when he saw the plane emerge from the thick black cloud.

Doug, 46, from Billings, Montana, was snapping away at the storm when he saw the plane emerge from the thick black cloud: 'The airport was only two miles away but it looked like the plane was having a constant battle with the storm all the way.'
He said: 'I pulled over when I saw the storm getting worse and got out to take a few pictures.
 
'The plane came as a complete surprise and seemed to appear out of nowhere as I was photographing.
'The airport was only two miles away but it looked like it was having a constant battle with the storm all the way.
'It really did look as though it was being chased by the cloud.
'I've always had a passion for the outdoors and landscape photography and I like to take pictures which make people think they're right there in the middle of it.
'But I doubt anyone would want to be anywhere near this.
'I've never seen anything like it before. It's very rare to see such a well-defined storm front, never mind a plane in the centre of it.'
