Last Rays under Hailer

2024-12-08 By Roger Edwards

Last Rays under Hailer

The last gasp of a stunning fall supercell saw its wall cloud and main updraft region change from golden orange to this delicious salmon hue as it shrank, wrapping hail-cooled air all the way around and into the mesocyclone.  And so ended a rare, entirely on-foot storm chase up elevators and out some east-facing doors to the very same area of roof where I had photographed wonderful sunrises off and on for years, as opportunity arose, while working many an overnight shift.  Safely to say, this was like none other sunset or sunrise I had shot from up there.

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...
