Crazy Cloud Sunset! 🌅Queenstown, New Zealand 🇳🇿
Take me back!
Looking back through some old photos and I realised I hadn’t posted a sunset in a while! So... here’s a pretty unique one!

Strange, UFO like cloud formation... super cool hey? :) I am not sure how they form this disc style, but it was amazing! I hope this image does it justice :)
Peace and love!

Lenticular cloud
Lenticular clouds (Altocumulus lenticularis in Latin) are stationary clouds that form in the troposphere, typically in perpendicular alignment to the wind direction. They are often comparable in appearance to a lens or saucer.
There are three main types of lenticular clouds: altocumulus standing lenticular (ACSL), stratocumulus standing lenticular (SCSL), and cirrocumulus standing lenticular (CCSL), varying in altitude above the ground. Because of their unique appearance, they have been brought forward as an explanation for some unidentified flying object (UFO) sightings.
Thank you ! :D Yes they sure were spectacular, I was watching them for ages. I've never seen them quite like this before. Thanks so much for the informative link, I now know! :)
