The Lenticular Cloud

No, it's not a UFO. Nor a spaceship made of meringue. It is, apparently, a lenticular cloud - a rather rare phenomenon most frequently seen over high mountain ranges such as the Himalayas or Andes.

But this one seemed to have lost its way. Because it turned up not far from Dixon Hill this afternoon, where it was snapped by my husband. In fact, it was seen floating all over West Yorkshire and snapped by quite a few people if the BBC website is anything to go by.

Hope it enjoyed its jaunt about the Pennines....its little Christmas detour. It certainly caused a stir in these parts (and is welcome to come back anytime).

This is quite amazing. Glad your husband took the chance to snap it. Well done!
