Some nice clouds in the morning. We don't see much clouds in San Diego so its nice to see them. Russian River, California, USA
Masai Mara engulfed in a thick layer of clouds as the sun sets at a distance. Rain is also bashing a zone in Mara visible as a spout on the right side. Haven't seen such thick clouds before or after that day.
Taken on the move while riding a safari van on a bumpy safari track.
Gives me more than one reason to look at the picture again and again!

At first ...
Unfortunately sunset is hidden in the clouds ...
How can I thought
See this way and
It's complex shadows of clouds is dramatic?
A quite dramatic cloud formation over Holy Loch and the Firth of the Clyde with a warship silhouetted against the evening light.

Happy Travels!

I thought these clouds were quite interesting. It looks like a wave pattern. I liked the reflected light on the sea too.
Used Dynamic Photo HDR to produce this as it enhanced the formation a little.
A big thank you to my friends this has made explore, Highest position: 194 on Saturday, March 31, 2012
hehe big word... Edit from last summer. We were driving back up to The Pas, and there were these stunning clouds caught in between the rays of the setting sun. I just had to take a few shots through the window.
Friday afternoon, as scattered but intense thundershowers passed through the area, I was out chasing pictures when I spotted this unbelievably brilliant rainbow segment. The rain shower was fully illuminated by the afternoon sun, and apparently the drop sizes were just about perfect for a rainbow. This shower persisted for quite some time, and I was able to adjust my position to keep the angle correct for seeing the rainbow in it. As the shower finally passed over the horizon, the last little bit of the rainbow was still visible in it!
I promise you that this rainbow is NOT photoshopped in, though it almost looks unreal enough to be so. This rainbow really was this brilliant!
Picture of some clouds and a radio tower taken near my house. I didn't have high expectations going into post with this photo, but it really pulled through. I was shocked when I started experimenting with burning the clouds, they had way more detail and complexity than I thought they would.
Also, I shot a ton of shots similar to this one, but I picked this because I happened to catch the bird flying around the tower. Didn't notice him when I was shooting so that was a cool surprise as well.
This was shot on an old Sigma 18-200mm 3.5-6.3 DC, no OS and my Canon T3i.
Another Topaz Texture attempt. There are many controls and with this image I made the actual texture on the mild side.
Thanks again Scott...Lenticular Clouds
Lenticular clouds, technically known as altocumulus standing lenticularis, are stationary lens-shaped clouds that form at high altitudes, normally aligned at right-angles to the wind direction.
Where stable moist air flows over a mountain or a range of mountains, a series of large-scale standing waves may form on the downwind side. Lenticular clouds sometimes form at the crests of these waves. Under certain conditions, long strings of lenticular clouds can form, creating a formation known as a wave cloud.
Power pilots tend to avoid flying near lenticular clouds because of the turbulence of the rotor systems that accompany them, but sailplane pilots actively seek them out. This is because the systems of atmospheric standing waves that cause "lennies" (as they are sometimes familiarly called) also involve large vertical air movements, and the precise location of the rising air mass is fairly easy to predict from the orientation of the clouds.
"Wave lift" of this kind is often very smooth and strong, and enables gliders to soar to remarkable altitudes and great distances. The current gliding world records for both distance (over 3,000km) and altitude (14,938m) were set using such lift.
Lenticular clouds have been mistaken for UFOs (or "visual cover" for UFOs) because these clouds have a characteristic lens appearance and smooth saucer-like shape.
