Shadows under a Busy Anvil

2022-10-11 By Roger Edwards

Shadows under a Busy Anvil

The front side of a “towering Texas sunset” had a remarkable rearward-directed spectacle on display too.  This formerly tornadic storm continued to pump immeasurable quantities of condensate into the upper troposphere, vigorously enough to yield uncommon downshear knuckles, hybrid knuckle-mammatus formations, and (in the distance) more purely mammatus.  Soon, as the moon peeked out from behind the anvil, the eastern scene would lose a little of this rich, shadowy texture, but gain warmer color.

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...
