Otherworldly Twilight Sky

2015-01-20 By Roger Edwards

Lyons Supercell in Twilight

On a fine spring eventide in central Kansas, two light sources, diffused and reflected and refracted every which way, wrapped around and through a supercell to yield one of the most surreal western skies one can behold.  Warm tones from what was left of the distant sunset blended with cool blues from the unseen twilight sky, filtered through cloud layers of differing shapes and thicknesses, while internal flickers of lightning splotched the scene with bright ghosts of peach and pink.  The resulting blend of pastels pulsated and flowed unevenly through a sublime half hour of a lifetime.

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...
