The Chinook Arch, at times seen as a vast sheet of Altostratus and also as in this case, seen with Lenticularis characteristics…it often is accompanied by very high wind speeds up to 100km/h ……….This is a phenomena observed in Canada, over the southwestern Alberta area. This photo was taken at Cochrane, Alberta, Canada.

Janice Smith AB. Canada says: No, it's not a painting, just a photo of a huge thunderstorm. The sun was setting which made the sky a deep blue colour and brought out interesting patterns and colours. Janice

A pleasure, Janice. Keep the lovely photos a’comin! I have shared all the info about the Chinook Arch with several of my friends and they are amazed.

Thank you Laurence for the nice comment and to the editor for adding information about Chinook Winds. Have a wonderful day!
Hi Janice & Photo Editor (Ian) – Thanks to you both for the highly informative details about the Chinook Arch which, till now, I never heard of or knew about. When one opens the useful link and read of just how dramatically the temperature changes, well, it boggles the mind! This has been, for me, a useful education. It enhances even further the powerful forces of Nature.
Janice, I like your photo much, as too, the information it generated about the Chinook Arch. I am better informed! Cheers.
Laurence
