Frontlit Corsicana Arcus

2023-07-23 By Roger Edwards

Frontlit Corsicana Arcus

An unusual early/mid-June storm-observing excursion south of the Metroplex led to a short-lived supercell and storm merger west of Corsicana, whereupon an aerial flood of outflow commenced.  What made the event striking was its coloration:  the turquoise-tinted core, an east-facing arcus frontlit with a peachy hue.  I’ve seen this effect several times before, but always on the High Plains, such as the previous year in western South Dakota or seven years earlier in northeastern Montana.  As in the entirety of my storm-pursuing adulthood prior, I doubt many more June chase opportunities southeast of Dallas will present themselves to reproduce the lighting!  How convenient it was too, for the shelf cloud’s outline to follow the contour of the clump of trees, right as I shot the image.

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...
