Bradshaw Wide View with Structure

2024-08-28 By Roger Edwards

Bradshaw Wide View with Structure

As the Bradshaw tornado pulled away northward, the last in a chain of closely spaced, tornadic, dryline supercells came into fuller view, with its classical rear-flank convective and gust-frontal structure.  The scene at this stage looked strikingly like one from a NSSL slide of the Alfalfa, OK tornado on 22 May 1981, which I long had admired for its combination of tornado and textbook context.  The tornado itself was becoming entirely dressed in dirt from several fields, and would retreat into a distant, poor-contrast demise.  Meanwhile, I headed east then north out of York, to catch back up to the same supercell’s next and final tornadic cycle.

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...
