First off, I hope I can post these here, there dont seam to be a "general weather photo sharing" section, so I hope this is an okay place to post these.

Anyway, on break the other day at work, I thought perhaps I could catch a sun pillar. Well I did not see one, but I though the cloud scape was very unique with the altocumulus clouds and the cirrus rolling in behind it (I think)

I thought I would share:



And a crop:



Not quite sure the mechanics here, but I assume the mountains are causing the horizontal ripples. The slightly darker vertical clouds, Im not sure about, but I really thought it was interesting :D
