Looking south at some lenticular clouds taken from the Mayflower Gulch trailhead. I love lenticular clouds! Living at altitude means we get our fair share of them since they tend to form when moist, stable air flows over mountain ranges. When that happens a standing wave forms. On the downward side of this weave lenticular clouds can form. They are frequently lens shaped and when large and dramatic can mimic the profile of a UFO.
Other sky shots can be seen at Skywatch Friday.

I love lenticular clouds, too. Excellent capture of them. It doesn't even look real!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing - it looks like a painting by one of the Canadian Group of Seven artists (I forget which right now, but I'll search it out)
