Pontefract, view of a funnel cloud

On July 6th, 2009, almost home (Pontefract), I saw this funnel cloud forming, on my way back from a trip to Glasshoughton Asda, and rushed to get my camera. The funnel cloud was in the direction of Sharlston. Around that time, a couple of these had been spotted in the local area.
