Tempestuous Direction

2020-10-20 By Roger Edwards

Tempestuous Direction

An electrically prolific squall line, evolved from a Caprock supercell, continued to spark as its gust front rolled over the Low Rolling Plains of northwest Texas.  Soon darkness would set in, and the northern part of this convection would become a severe wind-producing complex over western and central Oklahoma—on my way home, of course.  That made for an adventuresome return in the dust, wind and rain.  Declining to stop at this high and scenic spot—with the photographic and observational opportunities it offered—may have allowed time for a less tumultuous ride home, but also would have sacrificed these moments forever.  Opportunities worth grabbing will involve some risk!

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...
