Lenticular cloud formation?

[Marie Nicholls]

Hi everyone,

I have just made a fascinating observation. I only had my phone camera so apologies for the photo quality. However hopefully you can see from the photos how the clouds change when they have had to travel above the hills seen to the right from west to east? (Approx 1,390ft) Would I be correct in thinking these are Lenticular clouds being formed?

You spotted lenticularis for sure Marie, except for the last one that shows tiny cumulsu clouds.

Thanks Hans, it was fascinating watching it happen! and sorry yes, that last photo was just to show the clouds coming over the hills before they started developing into lenticularis!
