For an image subreddit with fewer restrictions, check out /r/misc!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

I believe that is a lenticular cloud. Never seen one on top of the other. Cool.

Trained weather observer here: You're right. I fucking love lenticular clouds.

Glider pilot here: the upwind edge on lenticulars are usually a standing wave. Express elevator thousands of feet straight up.

A strong updraft will do that for ya =D

Also, you're a braver man than I am.

They're a little more than an up draft, if you mean thermal; I don't remember the climb rate, but I got one once with a CFI and we ended up gaining about 12000 feet by the end. I want to say about 1000 fpm.

No bravery. The rotor at the base of the hill getting to the wave is violent, but gliders are made to take it. The wave itself is smooth and quiet going up.

Here is a panorama I took of several lenticular clouds as viewed from up the mountain. Some of them have doubles (but not as clear as OP).

Mt Fuji ain't got nothing on the PNW! Our mountains up here wear two hats at the same time!

The natives here in Washington would predict rain when they saw lenticular clouds like this over Mt. Rainier.

[–]Drosev 0 points1 point ago

This one is Mt. Rainier. It is very possible you saw a picture of Mt. Shasta with lenticular clouds around its peak.

I checked karmadecay and it's not a repost. The photo you saw may be a different picture capturing the same phenomenon.

I submit my humble apology, and tip my bowler to you, fine sir.
