Sunset Lenticular
Enjoyed waiting for the sun to light up this nice pancake lenticular cloud. Nature's fireworks!
"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."

Taken on Montana side of Beartooth Pass.
Enjoy a wonderful Sunday!
