Tail-End Shelf

2021-03-21 By Roger Edwards

Tail-End Shelf

The southern fringe of a short, north-south squall line produced a nice shelf cloud in the twilight, compelling a quick photo stop after the end of the active portion of the chase day.  On this day, the end of the chase came before I saw the earlier distant tornado!  While limping my mud-caked vehicle back toward Childress for a more-thorough hosing, I passed under a backbuilding convective band that followed the afternoon’s supercells.  It was as if a far-greater power was reminding:  “Hey, you’ve been dealing with a predicament, but don’t forget I’m still here, with some beauty to show.”

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...
