Twilight’s Ominous Beauty

2024-07-20 By Roger Edwards

Twilight's Ominous Beauty

Riveting and spectacular, outflow-dominant yet still supercellular, electrically hazardous but oddly calming, this twilight storm gathered sunset colors reflected from clouds to the south and interwove them artfully with cooler tones from the deeper shadows, all wrapped in a striated skirt of platy, laminar bands of air forced to lift above the shelf.  This continually rumbling beauty advanced steadily across the southern Nebraska countryside, as the third of four supercells I would witness on this long but rewarding storm-intercept day.

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...
