Stratus in the Trans-Pecos

2015-12-25 By Roger Edwards

Stratus in the Trans-Pecos One scene is not often associated with far southwest Texas:  lush wildflowers and moist, low stratus clouds!  On this pleasantly cool morning, both carpeted this corner of the Chihuahuan desert in abundance, the cloud deck supplemented by moist air rising on Elephant Mountain.   Later the same day, storms would fire in Mexico and move across the nearby Big Bend National Park, and like this, would offer a photographic foreground decidedly different than a couple hours to the north in the southern reaches of the Great Plains. 28 SSE Alpine TX (21 May 15) looking NNE 29.9446, -103.5819

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...
