Aram, Very, very nice photos; I have never seen anything like these clouds. Back in the late 1960s, at the base of the Space Needle in Seattle, there was a museum of cloud types, from work that had been done by one or more people at UW. They had photos and explanations of more rare cloud types than you could shake a stick at and I spent quite a bit of time one Sunday taking it all in. I don't know what happened to all that material; it's probably somewhere in the UW archives. I just did the math and that was more than fifty years ago. Gad! I'm getting old...
