Supercell and Prairie Fire

2024-12-08 By Roger Edwards

Supercell and Prairie Fire

A supercell (at distant left) obliquely approached from the north and northwest, coming into view as a grass fire started by anvil lightning from a separate supercell (behind me) continued to reshape into a line in inflow winds.  The fire advanced from its earlier, lightning-ignited ring toward where I had been shooting it, so I backed southward slightly to this vantage, to let the fire cross the dirt road to my north.   In a minute, I would hit the road to get out of the way of fire crews who I soon saw headed to the scene, and to get ahead of this supercell, for a great view.

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...
