One more from Southeast Street in Amherst. Another surprise sky. When I left the house the sky was not looking especially promising, but as I turned the corner in this direction where the trees are open this started to develop. It’s funny as the sky to the left is where the sun was to rise and nothing much was happening, but to the south there was this.
I would have loved to shoot this sky over Quabbin Hill, but there wasn’t time.
If you are wondering why I am not showing more of the right side of the landscape, there is a house and and trees blocking the sky, so I chose this view. If it looks a little familiar it is the same scenery as this.
Breathtaking Steve. You nailed it.

It was fun to watch it develop once I got in place and realized I didn’t miss it, Andrew. I was a little nervous on my way there.

I’d looked at and commented on the previous picture you showed of this place, but I would never have suspected this is the same place.

It’s amazing how conditions can give places a very different look. The density of the fog and inclusion of the colorful sky give no hint of the previous image.

I think the high cirrus was the leading edge of the blowoff from Bill. It went just south of us across Missouri yesterday. The northern edge of the cirrus was visible all day. But it was clear over us. http://wxweb.meteostar.com/leads_images/satellite/SYS/VIS/201506201415_SYS_VIS.gif

Possibly. I am not at all well versed in things meteorological so I can’t say. But we did have a beautiful day with blue skies and puffy clouds. However, that changed late afternoon and we have been receiving what I am fairly sure are Bill’s rains since dinnertime and that will continue throughout the day.

A gorgeous scene with magnificent sky coloring. It looks like a magical place and of course you were right to omit the house. Otherwise the house would haven marred the landscape.
