Two years ago, after a snowstorm. I wasn’t out to take photos—just exploring. Then the clouds dropped below me, the sky cleared, and Mont Blanc stood still under a single lenticular cloud. The last light of sunset painted the peaks in soft pink and purple. I had my camera in the pack… and I’m glad I did.

Dakobed (Glacier Peak) in Washington state this afternoon from West Seattle.

A snow-capped mountain peak partially shrouded by clouds, with a dramatic, single lenticular cloud formation above it, against a grey sky. Surrounding less snow covered mountains are visible in shadow, creating a rugged mountainous landscape.

Spotted over New Zealand’s South Island, a stunning ‘UFO cloud’ called the ‘Taieri Pet’ always reappears in the same spot. This elongated altocumulus standing lenticular cloud (ASLC) forms when winds meet the mountains, creating atmospheric waves that cool and condense water vapor into its mesmerizing shape.

Stacked lenticular clouds sitting above the white Sierra Nevada mountains. As you can tell by the clouds bad weather is due soon. Grabbed with a mobile phone from a moving vehicle.

Missed the sunrise, but felt welcomed to the new day by a lovely little #LenticularCloud.

Have a lovely #Sunday, #sfba!
