Road and Cloud Curves

2024-08-28 By Roger Edwards

Road and Cloud Curves

Another beautiful end to a chase day found me a mile up a High Plains dirt road, over a hill, out of sight of the main highway, in the company of nothing but western meadowlarks, fresh cool outflow, and the departing complex of thunderstorms that produced it.  I wanted to pitch camp here, but already had a non-refundable reservation at a favorite motel in Burlington for the night.  Instead, I lingered in the relaxing presence of aroma, sound and sight of a peaceful, High Plains scene in the sunset hour.  It was hard to break immersive appreciation and grab the camera once this laminar tail cloud aligned itself so well across the similar curvature of the road, but I’m glad I did.

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...
