Dusk is a great time for looking at clouds as the light shows up some interesting detail.
The clouds are Stratocumulus within very stable air. Local topography is playing a role in the formation with a wave pattern there. Elevation looks to be around 1000m and the NZPP sounding confirms this with the lifted condensation level at 950m.
Interesting pics, tks for posting them spike-01.
