Sunsets can be unpredictable...this one looked good 10 minutes before good old Sol hit the horizon ...but then suddenly lights out, storm clouds prevailed. Nice cloud formation though.

We have been holidaying in Tasmania. We drove to the top of Mt Wellington, even though it was covered in low cloud. Slowly the clouds lifted, & there was Hobart waiting to be seen.
In meteorology, a cloud is an aerosol consisting of a visible mass of minute liquid droplets, frozen crystals, or other particles suspended in the atmosphere of a planetary body or similar space. Water or various other chemicals may compose the droplets and crystals. On Earth, clouds are formed as a result of saturation of the air when it is cooled to its dew point, or when it gains sufficient moisture (usually in the form of water vapor) from an adjacent source to raise the dew point to the ambient temperature.

Someone on my fb post of this pic suggested that there is dragon in the clouds. I too could see it after he mentioned.
Lemme know if you see it too. :)

Always nice to find a bridge like this to cross the river. While hiking Anme Machen, there were a couple of rivers that didn't have bridges so I needed to wade the cold glacier water which wasn’t the nicest part of the hike for sure.

This lenticular sucked up a whole lake and my neighbor but I missed that part---only kidding~
It was awesome to watch these things just hanging out there so close to my home and slowly changing shape—they were huge!
Lenticular means lens-like and apparently they are caused by strong upper level waves of wind hitting around high mountains condensing into clouds at the wind-waves highpoint.
Here they form near the summits of the nearly 14,000-foot two volcanoes of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea then drift away and keep changing form over a few hours. The volcanoes are just out of sight to the left. I took this picture a couple a few years ago from my house and scanned from a slide.

Another southerly front passes over eastern Christchurch, with a light dusting of snow on the higher levels of Banks Peninsula from overnight weather.
A ship lies at anchor waiting to enter the port of Lyttelton.
Looking back over the city (to the right of photographer) it was fine all the way to the snow covered foothills of inland Canterbury.
