Morning Altocumulus lenticularis and Stratus

Morning Altocumulus lenticularis and Stratus

This image was taken on top of the parking garage near Engineering Drive on the CU Boulder main campus at 7:56 am on October 31. The relevant Skew-T diagram shows that clouds were likely present around 2500 meters. In my image, some altocumulus lenticularis, altocumulus opacus, and stratus clouds might be present, though I am not confident in my identification. Because the CAPE value is 0.00, the atmosphere can be considered stable.

    I love the wide angle view of these clouds and the inclusion of the mountains in the crop, which gives a good sense of scale. The clouds themselves look amazing, almost look like a monochromatic painting. A monochromatic editing style might look interesting as well. Amazing photo!

    The choice of cropping here to show the interesting parts of the cloud formation was great! the shadows and contrast here really allow you to see the structure well
