Nighttime Illuminations

2025-08-05 By Roger Edwards

Nighttime Illuminations
Last chance to shoot a dying supercell before I get into the city!  Having rolled back northwest from a long-lived storm east of Tahoka, I was tired and longing for lodging, when many flickers appeared back in the direction I was headed anyway.  I took the chance to stop and hope for a few more flashes from a storm that seemed to get less active as I approached.  The stop also would delay my arrival (and hot, drive-thru fast food) a bit.  Decisions, decisions!  Winning a self-imposed psychological battle, hunger and sleep would wait.  Fortunately this pretty little storm persisted a bit longer, lit from within and without by lightning, and also around its exterior by moonlight and city glow, making some truly special, appreciated moments out in the South Plains night.

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...
