Underside Blues

2021-09-25 By Roger Edwards

Underside Blues

Storm-intercept days often end with a rush of outflow, from clustered storms that merged upscale from the hours-earlier convection that brought about the chase in the first place.  Such was true here.  A pool of rain-cooled air, trailing from a dying storm cluster formerly composed of supercells and multicells, created an arcus cloud that was rather fuzzy and featureless from the outside, but wondrously turbulent and textured beneath.  This slate blue-gray palette is one of my favorites in the sky, especially when dappled to widely varying luminosity by the roiling cloud base.  Twilight accentuated the tones.

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...
