Lenticular clouds are stationary lens-shaped clouds that form at high altitudes, often over mountain ranges such as those that flank Death Valley National Park. These clouds appear to be a pile of stacked lenticulars. The more fully formed ones on the bottom of the stack seem to be flying saucers. Their presence turns the evening sky into a surreal barrage. After shooting this image, I noticed ground forms reflecting these very clouds. But they were not visible in my frame. I changed cameras, and made an image six minutes later of the same clouds, yet in a quite different context. It is the next image in this gallery.
