Sunset Sky Seeing Southward

2021-02-06 By Roger Edwards

Sunset Sky Seeing Southward

The most photogenic and inspiring part of many a storm-observing day is after the storms have peaked and moved on: sunset time.   Wildly wonderful to the west and easy on the eyes to the east, the sky was simply soothing to the south too, where backsheared anvil material and its mammatus, along with scuddy fractus clouds and midlevel altocumuli below, caught varying brilliances and tones of the sun’s latest rays.

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.

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...
