These are Lenticular clouds....they are stationary lens-shaped clouds that form at high altitudes, normally aligned at right-angles to the wind direction. Stable moist air flows over a mountain or a range of mountains, a series of large-scale standing waves form on the downwind side. I was told by a private pilot on the beach that day, that they have been known to fly their planes well over 200 miles in winds like this without their engines. He was excited...lol
Thank you so much! I enjoy every shot I take.
