    My last contribution on this thread (great ones above btw!) was accompanied by a quote from a song by Bruce Springsteen from the album Born to Run and the song Thunder Road. I love the album and this song in particular very much. And I love Bruce Springsteen even more since May 2025. He is great and unforgettable talent for sure.

    You posted an interesting one to identify Heidi. A very nice one. To me it seems to be altocumulus lenticularis. Maybe it is not a very obvious lenticular example, but – although a bit chaotic – it still has lenticular features. Is the image taken in the neighborhood of mountainous terrain? If yes, it is very likely lenticularis.
    I hope you like it.

    I am curious about your remodeling project, Michael. Remodeling President Musk seems to be necessary as is remodeling mr. president with his pathological personality disorder.

    Here is some black and white asperitas.

    Ah, delicate and tasty bacon, Michael. And then a creamy cappuccino from Ruth. Strange combination?

    Wow, great bright colors Donatelli, in what you think is a sundog. Love it.

    It is not a sundog, but a circumzenithal arc (CZA). The CZA is about 45 degrees above the sun as a part of a circle around the zenith. There is only a small part visible in your image. and it has its blues above. A sundog is always 22 degrees at the left or the right of the sun with the reds facing the sun and the whites at the other end. The colors in between are usually not that bright as in your CZA. Here is an example of two sundogs accompanying the sun as dogs should do: Two faithful sundogs

    Here is a sundog in close up to compare. The sun is 22 degrees at the right (out of frame).

    It is a lenticular cloud for sure Chris. It also has a lovely iridescent neighbor hovering above. It is a classic example of a UFO. Love it.

    Above and beyond looks fantastic and fiery as well, Keelin. Thinking of fire I hope you are far away from the fires around LA. Really terrifying!

    Hilarious, Keelin. A plane that’s getting (almost?) stepped on. Love the colors in Contrail Playing Dress up, Ruth.

    What to think of this differences in color (not enhanced)?

    A marvelous and also surprising contribution to the raised question, Michael! You have my vote for Elvis Lip Cloud or the King’s Snarl. Your example of Asperitas is most certainly Worthy of the King and it supports your thoughts on this name very well!😎

    When is Lips or Snarl is seen he might be in the building.
