      They are beautiful. In the first picture it looks as if the mountain is wearing what used to be called a “coolie hat,” although that term might be considered offensive today. But those are very practical and (I think) attractive hats for being out in the sun for long periods of time.

      I think it should really be called a cap cloud. The Cloud Collector’s Handbook pp58-59 says ‘…a cap cloud forms as a stable airstream rises to pass over a peak, cooling as it does so. It is a particular example of a lenticularis species…’

      And yes, HH, GP-P captions his picture ‘…a pink-fluffy-bobble-hat cloud.’

      ‘H’
