Ominous Extravagance

2024-07-31 By Roger Edwards

Ominous Extravagance

A dangerously severe yet alluringly beautiful supercell airbrushes the Great Plains sky with chunks, platforms, streaks, and swirls of rapidly evolving cloud textures, tinted in the pastels of filtered afternoon light.  As the storm was both fast-moving and occasionally flinging hot bolts of electricity in disturbingly close proximity, appreciation time was reduced to nervous intervals of several seconds at best!  This storm,in this stage, came very close tp prpducing a tornado, spinning srongly but not verifiably at ground level.

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...
