Another fine shot in my opinion. It fills the frame, well lighted and exposed and the colors are saturated.Voted!

Amazing! Wish I had seen it. The lenticular clouds formations above Mt. Rainier near Seattle seem more common (google will find many hits), and they are always spectacular.

Great shot of that cloud. I flew out of Hilo that morning and saw that thing from the air! It was the most amazing cloud I've ever seen. Do you have any more photos of that cloud? Check out my cloud gallery at pbase.com/cumulomagnus

They form a few times a year when the conditions are right. The tree is a dead mamane and it and the barren landscape are typical of the swath of destruction ranching caused on this island.

This is great! People have often mistaken lenticular clouds for UFOs. You can see why! They're crazy looking! This is very well captured!
