depth of field issue here. the diagonal stripe of cirrus is high above.
setting that layer aside, i think that what we are looking at is cloud formation where water vapor
is condensing into visible moisture and simultaneously there is intrusion of convective columns
which are warm enough to dissipate droplets right at the point of penetration.
little baby lenticulars were forming and disappearing very quickly at that level. in another part of the sky this one hung around long enough to frame. it appears kind of "hybridized" and i wonder if there is an interface mid cloud involving temperature and/or shear.
would love to hear an interpretation from someone who knows this stuff, or even speculative rebuttal

Sundog today ... Wiki: Sun dogs are commonly caused by the refraction of light from plate-shaped hexagonal ice crystals either in high and cold cirrus or cirrostratus clouds ... the crystals act as prisms, bending the light rays passing through them with a minimum deflection of 22°.

I only changed the original image from color (trite alpen-glow), to black and white, and darkened it a bit, and these weird descending clouds appeared out of nowhere.

Today had some crazy atmo. LV fire smoke and the heat updrafts made these barely discernible wings of clouds. Easier to see with polarized lenses.

these images have obviously been juiced in hopes of highlighting the crepuscular ray cast by the convective tower going off in the west and the anticrepuscular shadow projected at that moment to the east
