Windy Sunset Scud

2024-04-03 By Roger Edwards

Windy Sunset Scud

Behind a line of severe thunderstorms, the active part of the chase day ending, we settled in for sunset scenes.  While shot from the same spot, the “two sunsets in one” were different as can be from one side of the sky to another.  In the western portion, legions of fractocumulus (scud) and ragged cumulus humilis clouds raced southwestward here, some conveniently blocking the near-setting sun to yield this sepia-orange effect in a deep zoom.

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...
