Lenticularis clouds

In southern Spain we can get some dramatic cloud formations and great sunsets.

One evening I saw a cloud formation I had never seen before.

Rushed back inside to get a camera before it disappeared and this was what I had been looking at.

I believe they are called Lenticularis and named as such because of their smooth and soft appearance. Apparently, they are commonly reported as UFO’s. I am told they appear downwind of mountains or hills – which are in abundance locally. 

They also appear to hover in place even when there is wind.

Enjoy.

  I saw a local English newspaper article recently on places to visit. It mentioned a Roman Aqueduct in Almunecar. The town – a very popular tourist resort – is on the coast 70/80km east of Malaga.
  
  So off we went one Sunday....
