Ghostly Sparks

2022-01-04 By Roger Edwards

Ghostly Sparks

A combination of falling rain in the core and flying dust in front rendered a ghostly effect to this sparkling scene between Tucson and Phoenix.  The outflow-belching, dust-kicking multicellular thunderstorm cluster trained along its long axis, presenting me with the opportunity to photograph dozens of cloud-to-ground strikes from one spot.  As for the red stripe, that was a taillight on a vehicle headed northbound out of Eloy, with the time exposure starting when the vehicle was behind the tree at distant center.

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...
