Can you place resource links to where you got the photos please otherwise they may be removed! .

Cloud types you posted can be seen here http://www.hillsrain.com/clouds/title.shtml or you could browse through this forum at the cloud observation and techniques area.

The first and third photos are punch hole clouds. We have a thread here about those.

The other two are altocumulus lenticularis - certainly some dramatic examples! As Mike suggested - please ensure you credit photos, not just grab some from the web and post them on this forum.

regards, Michael
