Mounts Rainier and St. Helens

We were fortunate enough to get this view just as the flight attendants announced that we could turn on electronic devices. I'm told by a fellow Pbaser that the clouds are lenticular.

Those Standing Lenticular indicated strong upper level wind moving over 30mph on this day. The lenticular normally forms on the leeward side of the mountain in this case on the northeast side of Mt Rainier. Great picture.
