Big Turquoise Swirl

2026-03-22 By Roger Edwards

Big Turquoise Swirl
[Click Image to Enlarge]
In panoramic shots, storms are closer than they appear, and this one was churning right down the highway toward me with the upper middle parts nearly overhead.    This rather fast southeastward-moving storm, consistent with its deep turquoise innards, was dropping copious amounts of severe hail, and occasionally showing enough low-level rotation to make an observer concerned for tornado potential.   No tornadoes happened, but the supercell (formed from a merger of two prior ones that developed over the Sandhills) provided an hours-long visual feast for those who could stay ahead.

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...
