When the atmospheric conditions are right, lenticular or wave clouds form over the mountains. They can produce spectacular sunsets and sunrises.

Notes from the wilderness
I was napping when this happened. I’m so glad several people captured it on film…especially you because A) your vantage point is different and B) you are such a phenomenal photographer. Thank you for these.
Thanks Jane. 🙂 I enjoyed seeing the other vantage points as well.
these are truly incredible, Randy. Its like Jupiter skies.
Jupiter is an excellent analogy!
Wow! I could just sit outside and stare at the sky all the time if it looked that beautiful.
Me too 🙂 It was a little chilly, though. And these types of clouds usually come with wind.
These photographs are beautiful! What fantastic shots.
I love the different colours and shapes. Over what length of time did you take them?
The time span over the photos I posted was about 10 minutes. I started taking some photos earlier before they got colorful. I think my friends and I were out for about 25 minutes watching the sunset.
Great shots. We’ve been having some beautiful sunsets the last few days.
