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.

This is insane! I love it. Thank you for sharing such a marvel.
I love all clouds and the universe and this picture is the first of this type of cloud formation I have had the pleasure seeing….it looks like ocean waves in the sky and it is just very stunning.
I had to let you know that this picture is amazing and wish I had a print of it to hang…. smiles
thankyou for such a great site to see all the different types of clouds and the intense colors too…love them all
Keep up the wonderful pictures for all of us to enjoy !!!
Great! Very rare, seen a few once or twice, but always am too late to snap them, they disappear so fast!
Perfect shot! Very beautiful and interesting.
