Sunrise Beach Time

2024-12-22 By Roger Edwards

Sunrise Beach Time

A mostly sleepless night at the conference hotel, while still trying to adjust my cycle off a set of night shifts, led to later delirium during the conference, but an appreciative opportunity to view an Atlantic Ocean sunrise to start the day.  The cool, autumn morning had few beach walkers and sunrise watchers, so there was no real competition for a view that included strands of scuddy altocumulus clouds.  It made me think of my first photo of an Atlantic sunrise, a slide shot while fishing near Miami almost 35 years before, and just over a month after the start of  an operational meteorology career that was about to finish a few months after this shot.  And what a nice, peaceful view this was…so serene indeed, that thinking about it made me nearly fall asleep multiple times throughout the day in conference presentations!

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...
