With World Photography Day falling on August 19, the South Downs National Park Authority has released stunning photos of cloud formations taken here in Sussex.
A spokesperson for the National Park said:
"The South Downs is blessed with some breathtaking landscapes of rolling hills, cliffs, rivers, streams and forests that are any photographers’ dream.
"But capturing a great landscape shot is not only about having a stunning landscape in your frame.

"The sky conditions, or more specifically cloud conditions, have a big part to play.
"Whether it’s a stormy, towering cumulonimbus, a wispy cirrus formation or moody stratus, clouds can add extra impact to any picture.

"Can you take a sensational image of the landscape and a dramatic sky for the National Park’s annual photo competition?
