Campus Mothership

2024-12-21 By Roger Edwards

Campus Mothership

After approaching Norman from the OKC area with a stacked-plate form and the oft-fulfilled promise of severe hail, the increasingly wild-looking and more sunset-toned storm drew closer, its slowly rotating wall cloud more a product of strongly hail-cooled air from the nearby core.  As it passed just north through east of campus, the main updraft region’s cloud form assumed a “mothership” character, with a show of astonishing storm structure and simultaneous sunset light seldom (if ever) seen before, even in a place that can see multiple supercells a year, and a storm that will be recounted with reverence for a lifetime, by all who bore witness through appreciative eyes.

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...
