Lenticular Cloud 01 Mar 15 2012 Vancouver..jpg
Here's a nice shot of a lenticular cloud hovering over greater Vancouver on March 15th 2012 5:00 PM. This HDR processed shot was taken during the transit of a mini-high pressure system which was caught between this morning's low pressure cell of rain and snow and tomorrow's low of (hopefully) just rain. This cloud type is quite rare and lasted roughly 30 minutes with several smaller lenticulars appearing west of the city. Seeing one of these cloud types is pretty much up there with seeing a large whale (killer, blue or grey) in the waters of English Bay (which happens more often than you'd think).
Lenticular clouds form near the base of mountain ranges when the conditions are just right and today they were. With the BC coastal mountains at my back this beauty appeared. Oh yeah.
Mother nature - the true artist.
