No photoshop that. The photos are of a bizarre atmospheric condition known universally as WTF Weather. Coldwarrior spotted and posted the story and linked to here.
Experts say the clouds were pristine examples of “Kelvin-Helmholtz waves.” Whether seen in the sky or in the ocean, this type of turbulence always forms when a fast-moving layer of fluid slides on top of a slower, thicker layer, dragging its surface.
There are a couple other photos that I stole and posted elsewhere with credit and a spambot so that CW gets to deal with any copyright infringement butthurt on
The Overnight Open Thread.
