Dense Core past Turbines

2025-01-08 By Roger Edwards

Dense Core past Turbines

Shortly before evolving into a supercell, a multicell storm dumped several heavy cores of rain (and probably hail) on parts of northeastern Colorado near Sterling.  From this vantage, near Fleming, one particularly dense core plunged earthward behind two wind turbines that framed it nicely.  These wind turbines on the Great Plains can be quite the unnatural eyesore at times, aside from the birds and bats they can slaughter, but occasionally, make a nice foreground to frame a feature such as this.  The scene epitomizes modern life on the High Plains, and how wind can be both beneficial and detrimental.

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...
