Wave Clouds Above the Rocky Mountain Front Range After a Strong Winter Storm (In Explore)

My camera settings were at the "grainy" limits (higher ISO) when I took this photo minutes after sunset. I mainly wanted to show the higher level clouds with a series of wave formations (a.k.a. Kelvin-Helmholtz [fluctus]). Pilots beware! Strong winds and much snow were followed by these wave clouds above the Rockies. This turbulent weather quickly moved Eastward impacting the Great Plains and Midwest with cold, windy, snowy extremes, too. More cold will remain for the days ahead.
