Another one of the fascinating pancake lenticular clouds above the Montana side of Beartooth Pass at sunset. Best place I've visited for lenticular hunting.

Happy Friday!

Or, more likely, from the troposphere. One of Iceland's mad clouds

These beautiful Lenticular Clouds seen through the dining room window.

We rarely get to to see these cloud formations here in Aus so a sight like this while driving to our next accommodation is a sight to behold!!!

Thanks for looking!!

Sunset from Lime Ridge Open Space in Walnut Creek, California

These fascinating lenticular clouds were present around Mt. Diablo this Monday. Combined with the golden hour light of sunset over the dried grasses of Lime Ridge Open Space, they made for a magical scene.

So far.

What a welcomed surprise to have seen these clouds !

Recent snow transformed my local hills. The walk up to the corbett, Cairnsmore of Carsphairn was hard work in knee deep snow but the views were stunning. The beautiful lenticular clouds were lit up and hanging over the Galloway Hills in the calm still air.

I wish everyone a safe and healthy 2021.

This is the same Mt. Shasta cloud as in the previous post but earlier with a blush of dawn color in it.

A great display of lenticular cloud graced our sky

Another image shot through the car window :-)

Taken along the N2 en route to Gordon's Bay, South Africa.

This was hanging around in the sky last night for ages, I had to take a photo :)

There are so many things that are downright wrong. Surely, we can do better next year...Can't we? OF COURSE we can!

This photo was taken before the whole sky turned orange.

Lenticular clouds (Altocumulus lenticularis) are stationary lens-shaped clouds that form in the troposphere, normally in perpendicular alignment to the wind direction. Lenticular clouds can be separated into altocumulus standing lenticularis (ACSL), stratocumulus standing lenticular (SCSL), and cirrocumulus standing lenticular (CCSL). Because of their shape, they have been offered as an explanation for some Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) sightings.
