I have been able to portray a beautiful sunrise in Olot. I have captured this image around 6:30 am and quickly, because it lasted a few minutes.
The elongated cloud over the hermitage of Sant Francesc, on top of the Montsacopa volcano, gives a surreal and Dalinian touch to this snapshot that we see in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia.
These types of long wind clouds are rare. Go early and catch them before they vanish into the dawn sky.
The so-called wind clouds form at a height of between 2 and 6 kilometers, precisely when the wind blows in that layer of the atmosphere.
This air flow tends to model the clouds, which adopt a very peculiar and recognizable shape, being elongated and with a great definition in the outline.
On many occasions they end up being a lenticular cloud, that is, it has the shape of a lentil, or even a saucer or converging lens.
