Here is one of my favorite pictures of my wife Laura on a climbing trip out west in 1975 when she was still in college. Laura, Russ Raffa and Harvey Arnold stopped in Death Valley to take pictures at dawn. Harvey caught a cloud formation that gives this shot a little drama. Even when just taking a snap shot Harvey Arnold could take a great photo:
Laura took this one of Harvey taking those pictures. We figured this out scanning slides last summer:

Bobby D,
Happy New Year.
Please post that picture of the cloud over Skytop you took in October. It's a great one.

‘Kelvin-Helmholtz cloud’ and the "Roll Cloud". Both are really cool!

You know where this is. Please forgive the sloppy Photoshop hack job.

Good call on Misha's photos there Walleye...
I've been up 4 of those peaks and was about to ask what they were.
I think I'm always looking at my feet when I'm going up.

Hey isn't this one off topic?
I guess not if there's a rock somewhere in the thread, huh? I'll have to remember that in my next political post......

Fog is good too. I remember climbing Tahquitz completely shrouded in. Couldn't see sh#t, except fifty feet up or down!

Wow! Is that a lenticular? Is there a mountain upwind?
I wish I had a better idea of what is making that look the way it does.
I searched a little and found another example under 'lenticular' which has the tail at the base (or looks that way), the layers, and the faint cap above. Of course, some of that may be tricks of perspective. My main question is: is the air itself stratified somehow in humidity, temperature, or particulates, or does the layering develop as the cloud forms?

I was driving across the Kancamagus Highway yesterday evening, after a nice day at Rumney.
In clear, windy weather, there were small lenticular clouds stacking like pancakes over the
hills.
