Scenes from the late afternoon/early evening


I dare not mention going to Paris, Illinois on a Sunday afternoon...every time I do, a storm comes up.  Today was no exception, except it wasn't one to stop us going.  The car got a great wash as we  drove over there.  And on the way home I snagged a few pics of the sky.


The very first photo is looking northwest, and the second photo is looking northeast...they are taken from the same spot within seconds of each other.


I just had to take time to drive through the end of the strip pit area...the view above is looking east and the one below looks west.


I always find the sky fun to watch.  It is fun to see how quickly it can change.

    Those skies look fantastic. The kind that beg for pictures to be taken.

    I especially like the first one with the dark moody sky. Very nice shots.

    You were brave, my friend. The sky looks so threatening!! But it worked out fine, as you got these excellent photos to post.

    I too love to watch the sky. It looks like it is going to rain.

    Beautiful. It is amazing how you can look in one direction and find a dramatic stormy sky and then turn around and see a cloudless blue on. Normally I don't see that big of a difference but every now and then

    Beautiful shots of these ominous skies!! The cloud formations add a lot of animation.

    I look at the sky all the time. When the sirens are blowing warning a tornado could occur, there I am on the front deck watching the action. It's awe inspiring. Kind of spiritual.

    i love the pictures but i don't like being on the road when the sky looks like that. i check the sky and if it is looming i don't go out...

    The third photo is so lovely to me - you can see the mysterious clouds and the barren road. I think that would be a nice drive.

    Have a wonderful week, Rose.
