Looming over Bare Landscape

2023-08-24 By Roger Edwards

Looming over Bare Landscape

To the uninitiated eye, or casual viewer not accustomed to Texas Panhandle storm scenes, this may seem like the looming pall of ultimate doom descending upon an already post-apocalyptic world.  Indeed, the shelf cloud did underlie a deepening updraft area that was developing into an outflow-surfing supercell, but in the meantime, casting an impressive shadow over a landscape of bare, unplanted dirt.  The ground had been wettened by recent rain, but not enough to prevent a lot of dust from lofting in the outflow.

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...
