Thunderous Times at the Truck Stop

Thunderous Times at the Truck Stop

After a long and exhausting chase day, sometimes the last thing I want to do is get out late at night for more photography.  Sometimes, however, the sky and its wonders beckon, with this small elevated storm blasting shockingly tall and bright discharges for a brief time, and at a fast pace.   The ground was so unusually well-lit because of a large truck stop behind me.   Conveniently, the cool, fresh air and some time standing outside made the ideal natural prescription for a bout of road fatigue that had set in.

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...
