Unwise Path

2026-01-30 By Roger Edwards

Unwise Path
A fast-moving, hail-hauling, gust-blasting, heavy-precipitation supercell is no place to go.  As such, the road this way was decidedly an unsafe route at this time, and we would have discouraged anyone northbound from continuing for another 10–15 minutes, at least.  This very thing, I’ve had to do on several occasions while photographing storms!  I hope to have saved those folks a great deal of car damage, and potentially a wreck.  The somewhat outflow-undercut mesocyclone region was above and just leftward of distant center.  Within just a couple minutes, the back side of the shelf would treat us to a lavishly textured underside view before the rolling Flint Hills landscape to the left.

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...
