RE: The most beautiful lenticular clouds I ever saw
These are the best captures I've seen of lenticular clouds. KUDOS!
Pilots of powered aircraft avoid flying close to these clouds because of the turbulence of the rotor systems, but glider pilots love them out. The exact location of the rising air mass is simple to predict from the location of the clouds. "Wave lift" of this kind is often very smooth and strong, and helps gliders to soar to heights and to great distances unheard of. As of 2016 it is recorded that the gliding world records for both distance (over 3,000 km; 1,864 mi) and altitude (15,460 m; 50,721 ft) were set using the lifts. These clouds are amazing and loads of fun for gliders. Who needs a full tank of gas when you have these babies around?
Wouldn't it be fun to have a lenticular cloud chasing you all around town instead of the gloom and doom clouds that are around sometimes. WHAT A CONVERSATION PIECE that would be.

Great response my friend. Many thanks for that. I appreciate the comment and didn't know about the cloud/glider connection until now. Next time i will be ready ;)
Thats what so great about steemians > you don't have to know everything. I knew about this because I did a post on lenticular clouds. Steemit community is always helpful too for me. We can't know everything and that's what makes the comment section so interesting.
