Sunrise High Rise

2016-11-26 By Roger Edwards

Sunrise High Rise Despite not being morning people, motivation wasn’t hard to force ourselves out of bed, out of the motel, and out to the photography spot for moments like this on a few consecutive dawns.  We shifted uphill from a previous day’s shooting spot to view this:  the first breaking of the sun’s glow across the top of tallest and most spectacular “high rise” in all of the Pacific Northwest, and one of our nation’s most inspiring and majestic natural marvels. 20 NNE Packwood WA (15 Aug 16) Looking WSW 46.8696, -121.5149

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...
