A cloud canopy

[Jameel Hyder]

A couple of days ago I couldn’t find a cloud. Today was a different story. Sunrise at reflection lakes. iPhone photo.

C&C welcome

Wow Jameel., turns Rainier into a giant mushroom. Great catch.

Delightful cloud canopy - almost looks like an umbrella.

I was there and shot the same cloud from Reflection Lake. You should have said you were going, we could have met there. It’s been like that the last 2 days.

At sunrise the knob on top of the lid turned golden.

Nice work Jameel.

That's an awesome shot! Looks like those bizarre clouds on mountains in South America - very cool!

Bummer. I msged you around 4am that I am heading to reflection lake for sunrise.

In any case great that you got to shoot this as
Well.

There are quite a few parts of Mt. Rainier NP that are dark for cellular coverage.

I had cell reception with Sprint on my iPad, AT&T wasn’t working on my phones, but I was hotlinlinf from the ipad.

Yeah, I never got that message still. Well, next time!!!! Right now I am driving down to Bandon Beach.

I hope one of you got this on a DSLR or mirrorless camera!

Is that a type of lenticular?

Thank Ben. It was an awesome sight.

Thanks Alan. Or a hat or perhaps an Alien space ship hovering over the mountain.

Sure did Monika. I don't process anything till I get home. Will do so in the next day or so.

Not sure Kurt. I am sure others on this forum are more knowledgeable than I about type of clouds.

 

[Jeffrey]

Definitely nuclear.

 

[Jim Dockery]

Yes, lenticular. When climbing they can be very bothersome - very quickly leading to disorienting white-out conditions on a summit climb (the sky and ground are uniform white - like walking around inside a golf ball) - but then dissipating just as fast if you're lucky. Other days the cloud cap will thicken, continue down, and cover the mountain in it's own storm while the rest of the state enjoys sunshine! This makes it difficult to decide what to do when you are up there. If you are on one of the popular routes with an easy to follow boot path stomped into the snow, GPS in your pocket, and a good clothing system, most experienced climbers would continue up on a summer day like this.

very cool shot!

Beyond the obvious coolness of the cloud, I like the position of the log and sticks in the water.
