Photography can be as poetic and compelling as the work of the written masters, and we are lucky to have such a visual poet here in the Northwest–one who specializes in the most dramatic type of local clouds:  lenticular or mountain wave clouds.  

Her name is Darlisa Black and on occasion I have shown her work on this blog and in my book. 

Just a sample to show you what I mean.  First, some beautiful lenticular clouds:

She has a way with light and shadow that I really appreciate, as well as the occasional watery reflection of dramatic cloud features.
