A dynamic view of Mt. Fuji at sunset, a dormant volcano, wherein the manifestation of a lee wave brought about what appears to be a variation of, and/or the remnants of, a lenticular cloud formation. This is a result of stable air flowing over a mountain barrier, generating wave updrafts and turbulence on the lee side. This photograph was taken by Akira Ebisawa, from the lake shore of Lake Yamanaka, Japan.

A lower level altocumulus lenticularis came to rest at sunset over what Patricia conveyed was a cemetery on a hill across the river from the city. This cemetery remains on the hill, with its origin stemming from the Jewish community that was expelled from the city in 1492, in Segovia, Spain.
