Lenticular Depositing Rime

2015-04-27 By Roger Edwards

Hoarfrost Deposited by Lenticular Cloud, Mt. Rainier Taken 21 minutes after a wide-angle shot of a lenticular cloud crowning Mt. Rainier, this one shows a closeup of the right (east) side of the cloud, which had been rising slowly.  As it climbed, the windy cloud left a deposit of rime ice, visible on the rocky crags high up the mountain’s southeast flank. 1 SSW Paradise WA (18 Jul 11) Looking NNW 46.7736, -121.7433

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story.

As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
