Sunrise off Virginia Beach

2024-11-02 By Roger Edwards

Sunrise off Virginia Beach

Curses to blessings:  a night of very shallow, choppy sleep at a conference, just a few days after a truncated set of overnight shifts, turned into an unexpected opportunity to experience and photograph a sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean.  “I can’t sleep, and have to get up soon anyway, so…what the hell!”  A mighty fine sunrise it was indeed, with a gentle surf washing at my feet and seabirds crossing before the orange glow.  The rest of the day was a mighty struggle to focus and not babble too much stupidity, but at least the day got off to a beautiful beginning.   The faint, rectangular shape at distant far left is a large ship that was in front of the rising sun just minutes before.

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...
