Those are the most unusual clouds I have even beheld. 
This is a really nice mind bender. It takes a few seconds to click on what I am looking at, which is great. Very enjoyable mage.
Very cool. Had to turn off the auto screen rotate on my iPad to really see what was going on. Kudos. And the signature
Bill congratulations on finding an excellent example of the very rare Glaciescumulus cloud formations. Very cleverly seen, this image made my day when I saw it. Nicely doneā¦
What a great idea! A really unique capture and youāve processed it nicely. Although, someone should probably correct Ed on these clouds so you donāt misidentify them. Over mountain elevations with calm conditions needed for the smooth water, these are most likely āStratofrostomusā clouds. āGlaciescumulusā clouds usually are part of cold front, which is likely to produce more wind. Although Iām not an expert, so there may be other valid opinions. 
This is excellent, Bill. Wonderful clarity and compositional balance. Processing looks good to me.
Thanks for providing the original Bill. If you donāt mind my asking, which month of the year was this image taken?
This is pretty neat, Bill. The sky seems almost an impressionistic etched glass abstract of bird is flight. Great idea.
Ed: This was late October 2013. The lake was just starting to ice in the mornings but was gone a couple of hours after sunrise. We had planned to go to Rainier a week earlier but the park was closed due to a government shutdown. We wandered down the Oregon coast instead and while we were there the government reopened. Iām actually glad for the delay.
Bill,
Iām with Harley. A real mind bender!
No nits or suggestions. A great opportunity and great job capturing and processing. Love this one.
