In a twist: The bizarre 'corkscrew' clouds creating a magical spectacle in the high-altitude skies over Mount Rainier

  • Lenticular clouds captured by amateur photographer over the Washington State national park

Suspended in the atmosphere and bewitchingly bizarre, these are the incredible cloud formations that have been leaving gazers in a twist.

These fantastical formations of lenticular clouds - or Altocumulus lenticularis - look as though giant corkscrews have descended from the sky.

The strange - yet stunning - cloud patterns were caught on camera over Mount Rainier National Park in Washington State, U.S.

Yeah, my pic was of normal clouds.  The locals considered this a 'semi-clear' day.  I was lucky to even see it.
