I'm not a climatographer but from my understanding these are Cumulus congestus clouds, an intermediate stage between cumulus mediocris and cumulonimbus, according to Wikipedia. To put it a different way, this is the buildup before they become cumulonimbus clouds which bring heavy rain. The photo was taken pretty late with the sun nearly set, which is why the hills at the bottom are already in shadow while the tops of the clouds still enjoy a few last rays of sunlight.
