Undulatus in various forms, reminding Holly of an apt quote by Keith Wynn; 'I love that no two cloud formations, since time began, have ever been the same. Each moment in time has created its own unique fingerprint.' This unique representation was spotted over Longmont, Colorado, US.

I love seeing your photos of the clouds by Mt. Rainier, Ryan. Always a treat! My hubby grew up in Selah, and we have visitied Rainier several times.
Stunning. Where in WA state did you see this? Wish it was in my backyard!
Absolutely amazing, Ryan! Lucky you for seeing something like this!
