7-11 Lightning: Strike One

2015-01-19 By Roger Edwards

7-11 Lightning 2

An otherwise innocuous multicell cumulonimbus, drifting through the late twilight sky south of town, began flinging huge and brilliant bolts of lightning between its upper reaches and ground, sometimes extending several horizontal miles away from their source.  This was the first of perhaps a dozen I saw, and half as many that I was able to photograph.  Each one was spectacular, one after another, and all that I shot in this magical half hour are being added to SkyPix in time.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
