Waves Above Longs Peak

Same evening/sunset/lake. A bit before the color came, but still I thought this might be worth posting. I was obviously drawn to the reflection, wavy clouds in the bg, and was liking that Longs Peak was showing up clearly, as it's the icon of the front range in CO.

The lenticulars on the left were beginning to get distinct forms, and the slight hint of a spectacular sunset was starting to show. Stan Rose could probably go into some fantastically great detail on how these clouds form, but I do think they come about when the air blows up and over something (mountain, in this case), cools to its dew point, and flows back down getting back into 'uncooled' air, so that there is no visible moisture again. This creates some cool, lens type clouds, sometimes layered. Anyways, I think that's what those white things up there are, in case some of you were wondering... If I do not have my weather facts straight, I'd be curious to know!

There is/was a fire going up in the mountains, so I think the 'dirty' orange part near the horizon is from that. Also, it was nice that since the reflection was so good, I could just focus the lens on the opposite trees @ f/8. Everything from top to bottom turned out very sharp, so I'm excited no DOF blending was needed here...
