On one of our days in New Zealand, we were blessed with many lenticular clouds most of the day. Lenticular clouds are one of my favorite clouds and are always a treat to watch. Lenticular clouds are stationary clouds that form mostly in the lowest layer of the atmosphere of the sky, typically in parallel alignment to the wind direction. They are often comparable in appearance to a lens or saucer.
When we got to the viewpoint of the Fox Glacier, there was a circle of seven lenticular clouds above the glacier. As the moon began to rise, I waited until it was above Douglas Peak and I captured this photo. It was a perfect way to end the day.
