Flaming Scud, Northern Appalachians

2023-01-27 By Roger Edwards

Flaming Scud, Northern Appalachians

Fast-moving stratocumulus and fractocumulus clouds followed a cold front accelerated by the gradient flow around the west side of extratropically transitioning Hurricane Fiona, landfalling over 200 miles to the east in Nova Scotia.   The Green Mountains, part of the northern Appalachians, silhouetted their sunset glow.  A faint, iridescent segment appears above and beyond the main scud pile.

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.

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...
