Lenticular Clouds
Mount Rainier National Park, WA - aer suzuki - Friday, August 4th, 2006 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
They're called 'lenticular' because they're lens-shaped. I've seen clouds like these before that looked like hollow mushroom caps, or fuzzy contact lenses, or moldy igloos without floors. Saw these returning from Mt. Rainier. First time I saw them was at Rainier as well, so they must like hanging out there...this was shot from a moving car.
This one was taken after I pointed the clouds out to my brother & his gf & he stopped the car so we could snap it.
And this was taken in (what I think was) the town of Enumclaw, you can sort of see Mt. Rainier to the right. I like the bubble cloud to the left.

yeah, after i saw these the first time i did a little research and found out that these types of clouds have been mistaken for ufos before...i can see why, they do look freaky in reality.
