Flank in the Twilight

2022-08-15 By Roger Edwards

Flank in the Twilight

Two days in a row, fast-moving supercells rolled out of southeastern Montana, across northeastern Wyoming, and  across the Belle Fourche and St. Onge areas in South Dakota.  The first, here, was later in the day, and visually spectacular at this site.   After the rear-flank gust front swept past, the storm briefly showed off this still-intense, deeply convective rear-flank updraft region, before being obscured by low clouds and racing off into the darkness.  Scenes such as this return the intangible reward for every dollar, minute and mile spent traveling the Great Plains yearly.   These are blessings I do not take for granted.

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...
