Red-Lined Whale’s Mouth

2020-11-26 By Roger Edwards

Red-Lined Whale's Mouth

A couple minutes after the setting sun first splashed red-orange rays across the bottom inner rim of a large arcus cloud, or “whale’s mouth“, its final paintbrush feat made even more deeply textured, redder patches, before vanishing entirely.  The dense storm cores were west and northwest of the lit section of the arcus, with the sun setting in the southwestern late-November sky. Such a geometry of clouds, sunset and precip allowed that light to blaze through a cloud-free slot unseen to the right.

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.

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...
