Woah! There's some really crazy things going on with the light there, that's really neat! Kind of like a giant feather in the sky.

Most unique, Steve! I've never seen anything like it. It pay to look heavenward.

Steve,

Can't say I've every used this word on NPN for any comment, but this is just sick. I think you're pretty young so I'm assuming you'll take this as a compliment. Awesome sky and thanks for sharing it with us.

Steve,

It get's in your blood even when you don't know it, and then your looking at the NOAA website looking for incoming weather changes and the conditions for the wave or lenticular clouds. I have to share my first wave. There's no way i can steal your thunder. Taken in the late 70's on a mineral field collecting trip.

It's always a blessing when a Sierra wave shows up. I love the various shapes and good colors in this image.

I like Floris' description of a feather. I also can see it as a bird's wing. Great sky. Nice image!

Paul, we should just have a share you wave photo thread.

Nothing like your first wave.

Looks like you took that idea and ran with, there are some great wavers out there. Thanks,
Steve
