Dakota behind the Storms

2024-12-22 By Roger Edwards

Dakota behind the Storms

Sunset hour on the Great Plains of South Dakota had multiple magical moments packed into one sublime experience.  After a glorious showing of anticrepusculars and a sepia sky toward the setting sun, the day’s last rays got under a deck of altocumulus clouds trailing an thunderstorm complex, and lit up lower fractocumulus scud.  The entire time, meadowlarks sang in the cool outflow breezes, and the earth gave of a quenched, moist aroma,  as if the entire landscape slowly heaved a sigh of satisfaction.

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...
