A photo of an unusual arcus or lenticular cloud posted on Chemtrails Global Skywatch is generating some chatter. The original photo seems to have been taken by Stanislav Savitsky in March 2011 along the Black Sea near Sevastopol https://500px.com/photo/16624985/-by-stanislav-savitsky

This place is in Crimea, but on the other side of its South coast than Sevastopol. The mountain Ayu-Dag is seen from the east side.

Edit:
Here is another popular photo of lenticular clouds over the mountain:

Looks lenticular to me. The hills rising from the ocean would be the cause. The separate horizontal layers and the lack of a thundercloud above it are indicators.

A couple of hours time lapse of a lenticular cloud formation I made a few years ago. They don't all have the classic stack of pancakes shape.
