Dancing clouds descended on Grand Teton National Park on February 12, 2015, when a lenticular cloud formation "kissed" the summit of the Grand Teton as seen from the park's headquarters campus at Moose, Wyoming. 

"It was the most unusual cloud formation and lasting (but constantly changing) cloud display that I have ever witnessed over the Grand Teton in nearly 40 years of living in Jackson Hole," said Grand Teton spokeswoman Jackie Skaggs, who took the photo. "Often, it looked like Niagara Falls, and then it would appear to be a huge bird with outstretched wispy wings and its beak just touching the top of the Grand."
