Looks like Föhn clouds rising above the mountains. If I'm right, that can't be too far off the Tour du Mont Blanc route

Thanks for sharing! Mountain landscapes like this really inspire me.  I like the lenticular clouds.

Wonderful clouds! I was there last week and everything was green with a clear blue sky so no snowshoeing! Yesterday, it starting snowing…

Bravo!

Tony Bill,HSakols & Francois...yes the clouds which I believe are high altitude Lenticular were stunning on that day they just looked so unusual. This one is significant for me even though it was shot on a cheap Sony compact handheld...it's the shot that got me into photography.
