  Lenticular Stack on Mt. Adams
  by Starlisa

  A rare and beautiful sight… I was out in the mountains and was able to spend 2 hours photographing the everchanging series of this formation… altocumulous lenticularis, or Mountain Wave Clouds. Each shot every 2-20 minutes was different, beginning white and changing to color as the sun set. This took place in the southern Washington Cascade mountain range on November 6, 2007 here is the link to this posted on my Flickr site, and there you will find links to slideshows and newsletters. / http://flickr.com/photos/starlisa/1898480209/in/set-72157594588852642/

  Iridescent Clouds ~ Alaska Brilliant Skies ~ Diffraction and Prismatic Colours
  by Sharon Mau

  Iridescent Clouds, Diffraction and Prismatic Colours ~ Atmospheric Optics / Imaged near Tok Alaska in the beautiful Tanana River Valley Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Featured Art 06 June 2009 Abstract Digital Art and Writing / Featured Art 03 June 2009 Atmospheric Optics / “Iridescence in clouds most often occurs close to the sun. It is best seen when the sun is hidden. When parts of clouds are thin and have similar size droplets, diffraction can make them shine with colours like a corona. In fact, the colours are essentially corona fragments. The effect is called cloud iridescence or irisation, terms derived from Iris the Greek personification of the rainbow. The usually delicate colours can be in almost random patches or bands at cloud edges. They are only organised into coronal rings when the droplet size is uniform right across the cloud. The bands and colours change or come and go as the cloud evolves. They occur most often in altocumulus, cirrocumulus and especially in lenticular clouds. Iridescence is seen mostly when part of a cloud is forming because then all the droplets have a similar history and consequently have a similar size. Sometimes iridescence may be seen far from the sun but is most frequently near to it.” Information Source: Atmospheric Optics – Iridescent Clouds Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi / Shooting Date/Time 13 September 2007 18:12:22 / Tv 1/500 Av 20.0 Exposure Compensation 0 / Curves White Balance Adjustment in Post Processing / ISO 125 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / Focal Length 135.0 mm

  The end of hell
  by hillsrain

  The heatwave of 2009 will be forever remembered. / This is how it ended for me. The sky was full of dust, altocumulus turrets in a narrow line of instability gave shadow to the suns rays. / A fresh cool damp smelling breeze moved in from the south Good riddance heatwave, good riddance indeed

  A large expanse of altocumulus cloud was set alight by the rising sun, bringing a sense of warmth to this cold winter’s morning. You can see more of my photography on my storm chasing website. Check it out at www.nswstorms.com
