Lighting and Lightening Lightning

2019-05-11 By Roger Edwards

Lighting and Lightening Lightning

This supercell was doubly illuminated—from within and from without—by an enchanting combination of twilight glow and in-cloud lightning. Both lightened up the scene, hence my tongue-twisting, alliterative post title. For added measure, the storm fired off a cloud-to-ground stroke as a star rose from behind its billowing pile of convective towers. We stayed in one place as this storm formed well to our west during late afternoon, gave us a wondrous sunset show, moved overhead, then retreated east-northeastward toward home.

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.

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...
