Over the Hills

2024-12-22 By Roger Edwards

Over the Hills

Over the hills and through the dales, to the supercell we go.  South-central Nebraska’s rolling greenery, away from the nearby Platte River Valley, offered a pleasing foreground for this beautiful yet menacing sky.  The storm’s obvious outflow dominance signaled that little to no tornadic potential would arise anytime soon.  Regardless, it was more than intense enough to force large sheets of boundary-layer air through inversion layers above the cloud-condensation level, and into the middle to upper troposphere, at vertical velocities exceeding the fastest skyscraper elevators, and at scales dwarfing any grain elevator.

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...
