Sunset Asperatus

2024-12-21 By Roger Edwards

Sunset Asperatus

Even within one sort (skeletal) of a cloud type (asperatus, a.k.a. asperitas), appearances can differ monumentally from one event to another.  Take, for example, this versus only slightly less dense (mode skeletal) coverage of them from a film slide shot a few miles from here at sunrise, 24 years before.  The wave amplitude of these is less, but still no less beautiful, especially as a textural and silhouetting muse to the brighter, sunset-lit clouds above and beyond.  The interplay of clouds and light in the sky never ceases to give me appreciation and joy, even on seemingly “mundane” weather days like this.

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...
