Signs of supercilium, an unofficial classification, characteristic of short-lived "eyebrow-like" cloud features, which appear in turbulent airflow over, and to the immediate lee of mountain peaks. These cloud features were spotted near Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, Bandon, Oregon, US.

Asperitas is a relatively rare formation that seems to form in the vicinity of Cumulonimbus storm systems. Asperitas differs from undulatus by the fact that its waves are more chaotic and disorderly, lacking any of the regularity and organisation typical of undulatus. This classic example of asperitas was spotted over Northern California, US.

Hi Janet
It is always nice to hear from other members. Good luck with your contact with Sharon.
Laurence
Laurence,
Yes I just saw that. I will touch base with her. Who couldn’t look up and know they were seeing something very special. I was lucky to be in a spot free of clutter.
Hi Janet
I think you will be interested to know that another member was photographing what I think is the same cloud formation to that which you took a photo of.
Sharon Sullivan posted a photo today (c.29th July) on the Photo Gallery taken at Olympia, Washington. Here is the link to her photo for comparison:-

Cheers!

Brilliant capture, Janet. What a sight, eh?!?
Thanks for the lovely photo. The dance chorography – seemingly well rehearsed at that – is something to behold.
