Cloud-Banded Sunset Sandwich

Cloud-Banded Sunset Sandwich

Multiple cloud layers in different places seem to sandwich the setting sun, high across Colorado’s vast chunk of the Great Plains.  At about the same time, but in the opposite direction, this light brilliantly illuminated the back side of a storm complex.  Swivel your head!  Scan from horizon to zenith in all directions!  Something interesting and beautiful could be happening, sometimes in two parts of the sky at once.

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...
