Mountain Clouds


The object in this photo is not a jet plane or
a flying saucer. It is a cloud called lenticularis,
meaning shaped like a lens. These lens shaped
clouds form when moist air cools as it is forced
up and over a hill or mountain.
This beautiful, dramatic cloud is a common sight
in mountainous regions of the world.
