Off-topic pic today. As for the windmills, sorry Bob and Jerry: they're NOT picturesque.

Unusual cloud formations are a great photographic subject.
There are some locations near certain mountains which produce lenticular clouds quite often.

Here's a spectacular example over Denali (Mt. McKinley) in Alaska:

These are too cool.

Thank you once again for a calming diversion from the day's news.

That's an interesting-looking cloud. In the interior of Alaska the weather changes slowly and events are usually minor. Weak cloud formations that stay for days and weeks are the norm. Thunderstorms, when they occur at all are weak, a few mild booms and flashes, sometimes rain, but hardly ever a significant amount. Hailstorms often, but very mild. Dust devils rather than tornados. Not much snow in winter. Not much wind, if any. In other words, very little weather, as we used to say in New England.
