Lentoid Mid-August, and a lovely warm day with a brisk wind coming in from the southern ocean. The moisture-laden wind was lifted by the coastal mountains and met the glaciers, head-on. The rapid cooling and strong air movement created huge lenticular clouds all along the south coast. Very brief, but absolutely magical. Miðfell on the right and Vestrahorn - known erroneously as Stokksnes - near the centre, in south-eastern Iceland. #WeatherPhotography #MountainsMonday #Iceland #Photography

Phenomenal You might have hear of wind shear, but have you ever seen it? Late October, the maximum sustained wind speed was 75.9 kph (47.2 mph), a Beaufort scale force 9 - a "strong gale." We were hurrying back to our hotel, breaking no speed limits but not hanging about. I spotted this strange cloud formation and took a few shots. It wasn't until I had chance to look at them properly that I realised what I had. Rangárþing eystra, southern Iceland. #WeatherPhotography #Iceland #Photography
