Glorious Farm Equipment

2024-12-02 By Roger Edwards

Glorious Farm Equipment

On this South Dakota country corner just a mile from Murdo, I witnessed a sublime sunset.  Several minutes earlier, and on the opposite side of the sky, anticrepuscular rays formed by numerous western cloud elements appeared to merge together on the eastern horizon, beyond these farm implements, and deep into the rear of a severe-thunderstorm complex.  Crepusculars and anticrepusculars (as they become when crossing the zenith away from the sun), in fact, are parallel, but appear to merge because of the perspective shift imparted by distance.

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...
