Dallas Stratus

2024-09-21 By Roger Edwards

Dallas Stratus

This stratus deck, with bottom around 800 feet above ground level based on the known heights of the cloud-penetrating Bank of America Plaza (near) and Comerica skyscraper (far), seems harmless and innocuous, except perhaps to VFR (visual flight rules) aviators.  Yet it was the source of great angst, for in just a few hours, a total solar eclipse would sweep over the city, potentially fulfilling a dream scene since childhood if the skies could clear enough.  In the last possible hour, they did.

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...
