  • A giant stack of lenticular clouds forms near the summit of Mount Rainier in Washington state in the golden light of sunset. Lenticular clouds form when moist air is forced up and over mountains or other large obstructions. The moist air condenses and becomes a visible cloud as it rises. While lenticular clouds can hover directly over mountain peaks, they can form some distance away from the summit when the winds are strong. Mount Rainier is the tallest mountain in Washington state and the highest volcano in the Cascade Range.

  • A mammoth lenticular cloud nearly dwarfs Mount Rainier, the tallest mountain in Washington and the highest volcano in the Cascade Range. Lenticular clouds form when moist air is forced up and over mountains or other large obstructions. The moist air condenses and becomes a visible cloud as it rises. While lenticular clouds can hover directly over mountain peaks, they can form some distance away from the summit when the winds are strong.

  • The leaves of the poisonous corn lily (Veratrum californicum), otherwise known as a false hellebore, twist into a swirl pattern. Corn lilies are commonly found in forested areas where the soil is consistently moist.

  • Bright Lewis' monkeyflower (Erythranthe lewisii) plants bloom along a seasonal stream with the Tatoosh mountain range visible in the background in this view from the Skyline Trail in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Lewis' monkeyflower is also known as great purple monkeyflower and is native to western North America, primarily found in moist, mountainous areas.

  • A sword fern (Polystichum munitum) begins to unfurl in a forest near North Bend, Washington. The fern lives in the understory of moist coniferous forests at low elevations in western North America and can grow to be nearly 6 feet (180 cm) tall.

  • Thick fog covers the valley surrounding the Allegheny River in the Allegheny National Forest near Tidioute, Pennsylvania. Radiation fog is common in river valleys, especially in the late summer and autumn, when cold air sinks into moist air.

  • The nearly full moon is visible between layers of storm clouds over Mount Baker, an active volcano in the North Cascades of Washington state. Mount Baker, 10,781 feet (3,286 meters) tall, last erupted in 1880. In this image, its summit is obscured by a cap cloud, a type of cloud that forms when moist air is forced up and over a mountaintop. This scene was captured from an area of the North Cascades known as Artist Point.

  • Steam fog rises off one of the Reflection Lakes in Mount Rainier National Park as the still waters reflect a dramatic late summer sunrise. Steam fog, also known as evaporation fog, occurs when the air above is colder than the water in a lake or other body of water. Moist air rises from the water and is rapidly cooled to its saturation point, producing fog..

  • A large lenticular cloud forms near Mount Rainier in Washington state. Lenticular clouds form near mountains. Moist air is forced up and over the mountain and it cools and condenses into a cloud as it rises. Strong winds shape the cloud, which can form several miles away from the mountain that disturbed the path of the air.

  • A lenticular cloud caps the summit of Mount Rainier at sunrise in this view from Bonney Lake, Washington. Lenticular clouds form when moist air is forced up and over mountains or other large obstructions. Higher, cirrostratus turn red in the first light of day. Mount Rainier, the highest peak in Washington state and the tallest volcano in the Cascade Mountain Range, has a summit elevation of 14,411 feet (4,392 meters).

  • Thick morning fog begins to lift over the Allegheny River and Courson Island in this view from the Tidioute Overlook in the Allegheny National Forest, Pennsylvania. Radiation fog is common in river valleys, especially in the late summer and autumn, when cold air sinks into moist air.

  • A cap cloud covers the summit of Mount Baker, a 10,778 feet (3,285 m) volcano in Washington state. Cap clouds, technically called orographic stratiform clouds, form when moist air is forced over a mountaintop. The moisture condenses into water droplets as it climbs in elevation.
