Sea Foam

2021-04-18 By Roger Edwards

Sea Foam

Never the same as ever before nor ever again, swirling forms of foam on the ocean twist themselves into an infinite variety of shapes, shapes within shapes, and shapes still deeper.  I could have taken a thousand unique photos; but this among a few will suffice.  When I was a child, I sometimes would blow on a foamy cup of hot chocolate or bowl of soup to watch the fluid spin little cyclones and anticyclones.  That fascination with fluid flow carried on into adulthood, not only in meteorology but on the ocean.  It took several minutes of rather engrossing viewing before it struck me that there was also a unique, abstract photo opportunity down there.  These cold, clear, deep, and dark waters of Prince William Sound offered optimal contrast with the foam atop, only a few miles removed from the cloudy, silt-laden surface of a glacial fjord.

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...
