Happy Sky

2023-06-24 By Roger Edwards

Happy Sky (Supercell)

Deep and crisply defined convective towers of a Texas Panhandle supercell rolled up from laminar low-level plates, pumping mass into the delicately fibrous ice-crystal anvil plume festooned with streaky mammatus.  The skeletal rear-flank downdraft’s precipitation plunge (lower left) still had enough thrust to launch a rain foot, and enough outflow to kick dust (lower middle) ahead of it.  Though the storm passed over a town called Happy, that name best described my mental state amidst such a glorious display of High Plains splendor.

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...
