This cloud settles in the valley overnight. Then during the morning it slowly rises.
You would think you can walk on it !!
Lenticular clouds, altocumulous lenticularis, formed in high winds, where laminar flows of air rise over a mountain and the drop in temperature causes water vapor to condense in layered clouds. These clouds are fairly common in the Eastern Sierra, often forming into long, linear "Sierra wave" formations parallel to and a few miles east of the Sierra Nevada.
I saw these clouds forming from my porch, so I headed down to the Lake to capture them evolving in a time-lapse sequence.
Actually it was a sunset, but nevermind that! And so it was a few months back! You get the meaning!
I propose that in the New Year Of Hope and Transformation, we let ourselves all pull as one!
When I left on my day trip to Ya Ha Tinda, they sky was almost cloudless and I wondered if it was going to be worth going out. Then this guy showed up.

It's November 5 and we just had a tornado on the ground in North Fort Worth. What's with the weather?
Our skies are continually filled with mystery and anticipation. However, as we look upward, we should anticipate finding ourselves experiencing discoveries with joy.
“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.” (Tagore).
Iridescent clouds are a beautiful phenomenon-but they're rarely seen and even less frequently photographed.
Iridescent clouds, known as "fire rainbows" or "rainbow clouds," occur when sunlight diffracts off water droplets in the atmosphere. And the recipe for these heavenly sights is actually pretty simple.
What happens is that the cumulus cloud, boiling upwards, pushes the air layers above it higher and higher. As the air gets pushed upwards, it expands and cools. And sometimes moisture in that air suddenly condenses into tiny droplets to form a cap cloud.
This "cap"—which scientists call a "pileus"—is the source of the brilliant spectacle.
The droplets in the cap cloud scatter sunlight to form the gorgeous colors.
I felt very lucky to have seen this. It's a very rare sight. California.

Hoje omito minhas palavras,
mas com uma vontade louca de gritar ao mundo...

En un tiempo bastaba clasificarlas en cuatro tipos: cirros,estratos,cúmulos y nimbos. Y bastaban para predecir el clima. Ahora se las agrupa por lo menos en cirros-estratos,altos-cúmulus, altos estratos,estratos-cúmulos, cirros-cúmulos,cúmulos-nimbos, y los pronósticos se han hecho muy inciertos. Parece que hasta las nubes se han complicado.

With the sun peeking out and exposing the dark cloud cover to the south, MCCHO rounds the curve at Algoa, coming off the Angleton Sub onto the BNSF for the run into Houston.

This, my fine flickr friends, is what the inside of my head has looked like for the last week - the feathered canyons and dark clouds (to quote Joni Mitchell)of a summer cold descended upon me . No photos, no inclinations even, no uploads and no likes, no comments and finally this evening I rushed down to the beach to get some shots and it was overcast and no waves. I looked upwards and saw these great summer storm clouds with the sun peeking out behind for just a few minutes - a perfect visual metaphor for my week ;)
