Southern Appalachians Sunset

2026-03-16 By Roger Edwards

Southern Appalachians Sunset
[Part 2 of 2]  The last sliver of the visible sun poked over mountains near the Alabama/Georgia border, and a wavy strand of haze still concentrated along the top of the boundary layer.  Glare had dimmed enough to reduce the dynamic range and allow the rolling foreground terrain of the southern Appalachians to come out of hard shadow.  With a deep zoom into the most colorful, reddened area around the sun, layer after layer of land and sky crossed the view.  Those made the scene look like a painting as much as a photo, even to the eye gazing through glass.   I just had one job:  don’t mess it up (back to Part 1).

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...
