Sunset Arcus Texture

2020-11-25 By Roger Edwards

Sunset Arcus Texture

This marvelously developed and turbulently constructed formation, an underside of an arcus cloud that first moved over me west of Bridgeport, surged eastward ahead of its fast-moving storm cluster.  That compelled quick transit to a known high spot on the west side of the Canadian River Valley in hope of good light.  Right as the sun set from my vantage, and for just a couple minutes, it lit up the distant edge of the shelf as if by magic, accentuating its intricate textures.  Here was another sunset-lit arcus of this sort, from South Dakota.

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...
