Electrical Ray near Sunray

2023-12-19 By Roger Edwards

Electrical Ray near Sunray

One of the meanings of “rayo” in Spanish is “lightning flash”, which makes sense given that they are natural electricity rays.  [Not to be confused with “electric rays”, the jolting fish…] This “ray” cooked a bit of ground in the north-central Texas Panhandle, and formed a starkly beautiful High Plains scene in combination with the textured underside of a shelf cloud in the high foreground.  This storm cluster provided a few photogenic cloud-to-ground captures, including a really sweet scene with shelf cloud and gustnado farther east.

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...
