A bit different than your Iceland imagery but just as magic!
Well done, Rajan.

Post by: Rajan Parrikar on August 29, 2022, 09:13:47 am: Bob & Francois - thank you.

Bob, my guess is they are a family of lenticular clouds that somehow decided to come together this evening.

Francois - spectacular cloud formations are quite common on the island, but even by the standards one is accustomed to here, this was a special occurrence.

Thanks for the info, Rajan. Yes, much to my pleasure, I've witnessed quite a few lenticular clouds when I visited Iceland. Yours combine colors and shapes…

A persuasive explanation for a remarkable shot. Great timing, great colors, and excellent composition.
