Bar Pattern, Little Missouri River

2021-04-22 By Roger Edwards

Bar Pattern, Little Missouri River

Ever shifting, no constancy at all, the evolving shapes and size of the sand and gravel bars on this Badlands-draining, High Plains river ensure this photo cannot be taken, ever again.  Geomorphology is a fluid-flow study, much like meteorology, but on a slower scale.  Best of all, meteorology influences it through the precipitation that drains and melts into this system and weaves the bars here and there, from day to day and week to week.

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.

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...
