Sunny Cloudscape
Skies and clouds are primary objectives of mine when out image hunting. Not a big fan of all blue skies. As I hunt mountains I'm often fortunate to find all kinds of clouds as mountains "catch" them and form them.
Here is one of my 2 favorite types of clouds catching the last rays of the day over the MT side of Beartooth Pass. Mammatous clouds are my other favorite. This cloud is a "stacked" lenticular.
"Lenticular clouds get their name from the fact that they're shaped like a lens or a saucer. This is why they're also sometimes called “flying saucer clouds" and sometimes mistaken for UFOs. Some other nicknames for lenticular clouds include “cloudships," “clouds of heaven" and “lennies." They also have a fancy scientific name: Altocumulus lenticularis."
