Lenticular clouds

Lenticular or lenticular clouds are considered a rare natural phenomenon, especially in those areas where there are no mountains. They are formed between the two layers of air. Their appearance is usually associated with the approaching atmospheric front. They also indicate that large air moisture content. Often lenticular clouds hovering at one point and do not move, no matter how strong the wind was not.

Photographers relentless hunt for the phenomenon. For them, shooting a unique phenomenon - an incredible pleasure, especially at certain times of day. During sunset, you can watch the spectacular landscape - clouds lit with bright colors, reminiscent of feature films. I would like to offer you the top twenty dramatic pictures of lenticular clouds.
