The airport/weather station in Bethlehem, South Africa in 1984. At that time there was a research project going on to determine wether is was economically interesting to spray clouds of a particular type with silver iodide or dry ice to increase rainfall. Due to the location of Bethlehem, just north of Lesotho and the Drakens bergen, it meant lots of cumulus nimbus in the afternoon. Most of the local farmers were very religious and saw this as interfering with nature.
