Crawler in Closing Core

2025-09-02 By Roger Edwards

Crawler in Closing Core
Following a little bit of productive daytime lightning action, right before sunset, the storms kept producing sparks intermittently, as they closed in from multiple directions.  By this time I actually was in the car for safety, controlling the camera remotely, as a wild flash of crawler lightning stabbed jaggedly through the northeastern sky.  Within a couple minutes, rain started falling, which satisfactorily shut down the shooting for the evening.  Soon thereafter, I was driving through heavy rain and road ponding, at night, in the desert, just to get to my lodging in Tucson.

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...
