Close, Bright Boom

A formerly very dusty Colorado High Plains supercell and its expansive forward-flank core crept closer, losing structure but gaining electrical production.  The storm already had blasted a bright one a few miles away, but with rain and small hail starting, this much closer and louder discharge would compel my exit from the spot!

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...
