the sky has a big personality
There was a lot of weather going on that day: it filled up the whole sky, which is saying a lot.

Let’s just go ahead and get this out of the way: I went to Maine. There was a spectacular sunset one night.
There was other stuff too, so stay tuned. But also know that that nothing else I post is going to be quite this dramatic.

lenticular
When you’re in a group of photographers that drive like hell (on one-track roads)(that sometimes have sheep standing in them) to get to the beach just in time to photograph the sunset, it’s easy to tell the members of the group who know their job, focus on the task at hand, and photograph the sunset.
Then there was me: I can’t follow directions very well and/or am easily distracted by something shiny. And it this case, I saw the tiny bit a lenticular cloud (my second favorite cloud) over there on the eastern sky and it was sufficiently shiny to get my attention.

half-way
About half way up the drive to Los Alamos there’s a scenic pullout, and “normal” travelers might pull over long enough to take some selfies and/or glance across the landscape before they get back in their cars and resume the trip.
Photographers (who are almost never in the “normal” camp) will pull over, turn off the car, get out cameras and lenses and tripods and ND filters, and spent a long-ass time making photos.
In case you were wondering why it takes photographers practically forever to get anywhere.

I can’t even count the number of times I drove right past the turn to Cerillos, but it’s equal to all the times I’ve driven the road, minus one: the last time there I finally made the turn. And obviously it was well worth it.
