Twilight Supercell over Sierra Grande

2015-03-07 By Roger Edwards

Twilight Supercell: Northeast New Mexico

One pleasant evening of storm observing in northeastern New Mexico ended when a final supercell, weak but photogenic, formed SW of Sierra Grande and moved over the mountain for a few final flashes and a fine display of post-sunset colors.  An extinct shield volcano reaching 8,723 feet above sea level, Sierra Grande is the easternmost point in the U.S. with such a high elevation.

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...
