About I was driving in the Mojave Desert when I came across this awesome Lenticular Cloud formation. They form when there are very high speed winds at high altitudes. This one was taken at sunset through the car window whilst the car was moving. The only Photoshop work I did on this was to resize and clone out dust and scratches from a bad scan. The colours were unreal looking.

Ann, congratulations for the Feature Critique to Jeroen today! I thought that it was another "flash" when I saw it last night, I seem to remember it being featured before, so I did't write you right away. I see that it's still Front Page news, so double congratulations! But I hope for a more substantial farewell present to you from UF - this one picture in particular is awesome! Hint, hint :) Cheers, Ina

Hi Neighbor :-)
Wow! This is an incredible shot, Ann. The clouds certainly look familiar - usually see this type hovering over the Tehachapi Mts.

You are right, we probably have bumped into each other sometime in the past... this is indeed a very small community.

It certainly seems to be a small world some times.

Best regards,
Bob

Ann the colors are magnificent the clouds form a distracting view.
Will it be better if the terrain was much higher? Or crop in the middle!

Thank you all for your comments. Yes the desert has some amazing light to be sure particularly around sunset and sunrise but you never know what could happen at any time.

Gayle - I saw your photo and that too is definately a lenticular cloud. Quite the clouds aren't they. Very impressive. Another place to see them is around snow peaked mountain tops as they develop and with the varied temps up there they tend to form very neat oval and circular shapes and are quuite impressive.

Thank you all for taking the time to view my images.

Cheers - Ann :)

Quite the majestic and stunning cloud formations. I like it when people take care to mention info regarding their pictures in the "About". Otherwise, I would have never known! Thank you! The colors, contrast, and detail are amazing! Brilliant. Best regards.

Gorgeous formation,Ann! I'm a big fan of unusual formations and have a couple in my portfolio from last year...here is one of them taken in Montana one Summer http://www.usefilm.com/image/311961.html
(i was told that it is a lenticular rotor cloud)

Yours looks like the Mothership! The light is magical...what a beauty and glad you made the effort from the moving car...regards,gayle
