Hans, thanks for the perspective and no I haven’t sent the photo to CAS in any formal way. The post is the first public show of it. Below is another shot. One can see the two directions of the winds a lot more clearer. Maybe a sheer event causing a compression is the source of the needle cloud. Back to the rollcloud idea. The idea of a sliver of cold surviving in all that tumult seems unlikely.
Here is a cloud I found unusual. I began taking photos of it when I noticed it wasn’t moving along as all others were blustering their way across central Phoenix sky. Its long narrow shape stuck out as all others where in various degrees of being blown apart: organization in the midst of chaos. It lasted approximately 20 minutes with little directional movement ,west to east. This picture was the last taken. I could believe it is a variant of Lenticularis. I could believe its a variant of a roll cloud, a micro roll cloud, a bread stick rather than a roll. It is lower in altitude than the overhead rush of cloud with only the South Mountain/Estrella Mtn ranges nearby, yet they run 90 degrees(east west) opposed to the orientation of the needle cloud(north south). The White Tanks range is about 25-30 miles west tho. It runs north south. Anyway some kind of horizontal phenomena created a condensation line amidst the hurly burly and was able to fend off the forces of nature until alas ,no horse was available. An oddball cloud deserving the title, A Richard lll cloud.
Yes keelin, i like to just look at the works and notice the changes of what I am seeing. Even my own stuff shows different attributes that I may not have noticed at inception. During processing I count on seeing anew. Like at first Im thinking Mardi Gras on Han’s shot now I it looks like a Swing Dance party.

Hans,,yes, you caught Holmboe is perfect slosh!..The smaller peaks in the shot remove any question as well.
Nice Twilight Zone Account there Keelin..and the photo is definitely somewhere between sight and sound.
I return to one of my favorite shoots…for another variation.
