Thanks for the link,
I like shooting clouds myself.
Most of his lenticularis cloud species are orographic clouds that are created over mountain tops. Pity he doesn't care about scientific designation (mammatus species) - his collection would only gain by that.

Frank,
I had the pleasure of seeing some Mammatus clouds over my house a couple of summers ago. Of course I didn't have a camera with me. Maybe there should be a section "The one that got away".
I think we've found an explanation for many 'flying saucer' reports. At night the scale would be more difficult to ascertain, I imagine.
Chris,
very rightly you say you had "pleasure" to see mammatus clouds! I remember seeing them for the first time when I was 16 years old - a truly impressive view of an almost brown stratocumulus mammatus at a close range after a mighty tempest. Altough I was very impressed by the strange phenomenon I didn't take any picture of it either... only to have the sky photography as one of my photographic specializations many years later... I would give half of my kingdom for that view again...
