Rocky Mountain Rainbow

2021-02-25 By Roger Edwards

Rocky Mountain Rainbow

Without ground contact, this rainbow segment seems to levitate freely beneath the high-based shower—a striking addition to an already wondrous vista along the Mt. Evans highway.  The edges of the sun’s rays can be seen reflected above and refracted through the rainbow segment, then traced down to the shadows on the mountainsides.  In the distance to the east:  the Great Plains—where the supercells of spring and summer get far bigger than the mountains, and the splendor of the land is in the horizontal instead of the vertical.

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...
