Altocumulus lenticularis duplicatus, also known as 'pile d'assiettes', forms when stable, moist air flows over a large obstacle such as a mountain, creating waves that cause the clouds to form at the crests. In this classic example, there are multiple, stacked layers of these lens-shaped clouds, spotted over Torres Del Paine National Park, Patagonia, Chile.

Thank you for your kind words, Laurence.
Petra
Ethereal, mystical and spell binding! A beautiful shot from you, Petra.
This type of photo really grabs my liking. It is almost monochrome but not, not quite. I am a lover of monochrome photography.
Thanks.
Laurence
