hey there guys... say, i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee clouds...
that must be one of the extra "joys" of climbing---you get far better views of the clouds... :)
say, they do look quite great from ground level, too, i can attest to that...
they are kind of like the good lord's "movie panarama" always in actions, always telling a story... in its own "technicolor" or even "black and white" kind of, at times...
always a silent movie, or a "soundie", which every needs be...
full of "flashing visual effects" far BEYOND human power...
yea, great stuff, guys....
loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee them ol' clouds... :)
thanks for the neat share...
*say, if i can find it.. .the appalacian society??? or something, had a neat poster that they put out, and it listed how to tell the weather from watching the clouds...
it had a whole page of mini pics, telling the "how, whys, and wherefores, so to speak" of "reading the clouds for weather purposes"
i will try to find it this week, if i can...

Nice pictures! I liked the stacked lenticulars one particularly.
I've been looking at the inside of a cloud all day here - it's rained continuously since last night. Grey grey grey. You can imagine - I won't post photos. What pilots call cumulus graniticus.

I've sailed in the ocean, and climbed in a lot of circumstances, and though there are similarities, I've always thought there were tremendous differences. For the most part the challenges thrown your way are due to the interactions of the weather with the environment.
When the weather comes at you in the mountains, you try to hide from it. Hunker down, preserve resources, wait it out. You are a fugitive, escaped from the garden and trespassing in regions rough and hostile to life, where few living things succeed.
On the ocean you have to fight, a place not hostile to life, but not forgiving to life from the land. The bit of land, your surrogate, is the craft on which you rely for everything. The fight is to keep that surrogate bit of land afloat. You cannot hide as the battle requires engagement. When I have been in that battle an odd sense of oneness comes over you, a oneness of you and that craft, that boat, as you sense its strains, its hurts, and you hunt for the right course to survive.
In both realms I've felt a mastery of the situation, perhaps it is arrogance, but going into environments hostile to sustaining the life that I represent, and surviving, accomplishing my goal of a successful trespass into those realms, that sense of success rewards me... when I was younger that feeling goaded me further and further, until I saw the natural course of succumbing to the logic of success.
Moments of terror, yes, but so much more than just that.

sadly, no picture here. BUT I was leaving the valley one day. and had stopped at the last stop to get a good view of .5 dome and the valley. Opened the camera. DOH! out of film. it was bad. horrible I tell you because this was the most beautifull freakin' sunset I have EVER seen there I lived in the area close to 20 years. some as#@&%e, (who I suspect I know who it was) has the gall to tell me, with attitude, that theres always sunsets like this. but there aren't..
clouds over mono lake are the BEST though. wish I had my photos with me.

Thanks for the cloud pictures, all. They look good on the screensaver rotation. It's not so straighforward to get images from Eric Nguyen or Jorn C. Olsen, for example, but they do clouds pretty well, too.
It was a great day when I typed tornado into Google images.
Oh, yeah, clouds. Half of what we can see hasn't changed all that much since dinosaurs walked the earth. Perry Beckham told me dinosaurs still do walk the earth. He's right. I've spotted a few in this forum.

Tommy - (you might already know this) to start Waterslip, you step out off a ledge that is a ways above the pond below. In a normal wet year, earlier in the year, the Gold Pond is pretty much all below the climber. The second shot is mid-July in a dry year (2005). The first one is back before global warming. :-)

We get massive cumulus here on the Front Range; particularly over Denver in midsummer.
My understanding is that NCAR, National Center for Atmospheric Research, is based here largely due to the observational opportunities presented by those very large clouds and their attendant formative conditions.

Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons evrywhere
Ive looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on evryone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
Ive looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its cloud illusions I recall
I really dont know clouds at all
50 years of smoking seasoned this one perfectly.
Thanks for sharing your pics.

There is a lot of structure and variety in clouds considering the ingredients are air, water, and temperature differences.

a revision and an addition to the post above:
"fundamentally the problem [of cloud formation] is that of the changes of state of water between its vapour, liquid, and solid states...the presence of air - that is the unpolluted mixture of pure permanent gases - has little to do with the process."
"the natural atmosphere, however clean it may appear to be, is always supplied with a sufficient number of minute particles of salts, acids, or other substances...These are the 'nuclei of condensation'"
from Weather and Climate by R. C. Sutcliffe, 1966
and in a Where-are-they-now? aside, this guy who climbed at Index in the 80s now makes his living studying clouds, seen here with his wife when he visited Vancouver in July, 2007

Here is one of my favorite pictures of my wife Laura on a climbing trip out west in 1975 when she was still in college. Laura, Russ Raffa and Harvey Arnold stopped in Death Valley to take pictures at dawn. Harvey caught a cloud formation that gives this shot a little drama. Even when just taking a snap shot Harvey Arnold could take a great photo:
Laura took this one of Harvey taking those pictures. We figured this out scanning slides last summer:

I think I'm always looking at my feet when I'm going up.

Wow! Is that a lenticular? Is there a mountain upwind?
I wish I had a better idea of what is making that look the way it does.
I searched a little and found another example under 'lenticular' which has the tail at the base (or looks that way), the layers, and the faint cap above. Of course, some of that may be tricks of perspective. My main question is: is the air itself stratified somehow in humidity, temperature, or particulates, or does the layering develop as the cloud forms?

I was driving across the Kancamagus Highway yesterday evening, after a nice day at Rumney.
In clear, windy weather, there were small lenticular clouds stacking like pancakes over the
hills.

relaxed into this tophat.

Somebody a few posts back asked about lenticular particulars. The simplest explanation is they are just the crest of a wave which is cooler and condenses the moisture present in the air mass. If you've been on an airliner as it takes off you will often see it demonstrated. Otherwise clear air passes over the wing/mountain and accelerates thereby cooling the air so it condenses if only for a second in the airplane case.

I am the daughter of Earth and Water,
And the nursling of the Sky:
I pass through the pores of the ocean and shores;
I change, but I cannot die.
For after the rain, when with never a stain
the pavilion of heaven is bare,
And the winds and sunbeams with their convex gleams
Build up the blue dome of air,
I silently laugh at my own cenotaph,
And out of the caverns of rain,
Like a child from the womb, like a ghost from the tomb,
I arise, and unbuild it again.

Best wishes to t*r.
From the broad but not so deep internet:
“This lens-shaped formation is the result of strong wind blown over mountains which causes standing waves and vapor condenses by being below due point at the crest of the waves. When cloud forms, it interrupts the next wind and causes vertical oscillations, hence layers are composed.”
So it sounds almost like the formation of the first (bottom) layer of a lenticuar cloud in turn causes air to go up and over it, creating a second story, and so on. However, other explanations refer to air already stratified in moisture content, but that only pushes the question back to how the air became so divided into layers. A U of W geophysics student once told me that people compared how many layers they had seen over Rainier, and you shouldn’t even open your mouth if you hadn’t seen more than 14.
"MAKA FUSHIGI" is a Japanese term often used to describe mysterious occurrences. It comes from a Sanskrit term "MAHA" meaning highness and "MAKA FUSHIGI" was originally used to express impressive phenomena in the nature that are beyond human understandings.

These are not exceptional as most photos in this thread are, but I’m posting them just to show what one can shoot from the street in front of my house. Back in the 90s when I lived on Climber’s Row in Bishop, we used to have “Sunset Alerts”. Bard would come running out of his place yelling, “Sunset alert, sunset alert.” We’d all rush outside and into the street to gawk.
I have since moved off of Climbers Row into a more respectable home (a stone’s throw from The Row). The street in front of my new place has a view with fewer obstructions as evidenced below. In my 28 years of Bishop sunsets, I've managed to grab my camera maybe three times.
This one below was taken from Horton Lakes with Bishop in the gloom below.

"If you are a poet, you will see clearly that there is a cloud floating in this sheet of paper. Without a cloud, there will be no rain; without rain, the trees cannot grow; and without trees, we cannot make paper. The cloud is essential for the paper to exist. If the cloud is not here, the sheet of paper cannot be here either. So we can say that the cloud and the paper inter-are. “Interbeing” is a word that is not in the dictionary yet, but if we combine the prefix “inter-“ with the verb “to be,” we have a new verb, inter-be."

hey there all, say.... i DID some some recent clouds around here that were really nice... but, just the other day, i say this:
seems the winds were moving fast up there, above, so at first i assumed this was clouds???? (i have seen this way on occasions, but never here)...
turned out the neighbor said they were chem-trails from jets (which i also, later did see some flying way up there)... wow, sadly, i wish they HAD been clouds, now... (meaning, i have read a bit about them)...
well, here is the sky, and how it looked:
say---if anyone can tell better... please make a note, too...
on what the pictures may be showing...

Thanks, nothing beats the Owens Valley and the Sierra IMO. They are amazing cloud generators.
This was last year in Beautiful Downtown Burbank with my I-phone. Not the Owens Valley but pretty cool for Burbank and the San Fernando Valley.

This thread Rocks. Way too many cool pics to pick one favorite, but damn Reilly, I love that desert shot.
Batrock, I was up on horse ridge one summer when I saw clouds like that. Plus there were pulsing white fingers in it. It is hard to explain what it looked like. Sort of like how the northern lights pulsate. Wild sight. Wish I had a camera with me.

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds * that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
........you know the rest!

Here's a shot of a pyrocumulus taken earlier this week. It's above a field burn in eastern Washington, Blue Mtns. are in the distance. The cumulus cloud is composed of water droplets, unlike the plume of smoke below. Condensation of the droplets is triggered by the extra lift associated with the heat from the fire below.
