Moon off Kailua

2018-04-10 By Roger Edwards

The ingredients for this splendid Hawaiian twilight spectacle were many:  multiple cloud decks (shallow stratocumulus under altocumulus, layered above volcanic “vog“), the waxing moon with lunar corona, post-sunset reds and yellows painting the distant sky, and a placid Pacific Ocean.  In the distance, barely rising above the sound of the gentle breeze, a ukelele played, courtesy of some anonymous but more musically gifted appreciator of the same scene on the same shoreline.  Not a bad way to enjoy the last daylight of a Christmas Eve… Kailua-Kona HI (24 Dec 17) Looking WSW 19.5957, -155.973

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...
