Sunset 99

2021-01-18 By Roger Edwards

Sunset 99

This was somewhere between the 99th sunset I had admired (long ago as a kid) and the 99th I had photographed (not keeping count, but probably sometime in the 2000s).  But it was the first photogenic sunset of 1999, as seen from the roof of the former NSSL/SPC facility on the OU North Campus.   Scuddy fractocumulus rags wafted southward in the cool outflow, produced by the same area of convection and precipitation whose backsheared anvil cirrus reflected the sunset light above.

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...
