Electrified Squall Line

2020-11-26 By Roger Edwards

Electrified Squall Line

There is a lot happening in this seemingly innocuous night lightning slide:  an overshooting top lit from within, silhouetted smoke from a lightning-started fire (at bottom left), precip cores glowing from frequent lightning within, and the loopy cloud-to-cloud strike at lower right. This was one segment of a squall line which was sparking almost continuously from the northeast to the south-southeast horizon.  Pictures cannot capture the grandeur of witnessing in person such a sweeping display of atmospheric pyrotechnics!

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...
