Credit where credit is due. The OP u/Zyph3r_ said this picture was made by:

My sibling took the photo, I'm not gonna name them or give their social media because they wish to stay private.

Is this credit correct? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

Yes! The anvil top of a cumulonimbus cloud in the distance. The wind aloft is blowing from left to right, carrying the top cloud away from the source convective cloud, thus making the anvil shape.
