Gray skies are just clouds passing over
— Duke Ellington —
Hickory, NC: Storm clouds were just starting to build over the Corinth Reformed Church as I made my way home from running errands. (Click photo to enlarge.)

I love the Ellington quote because it reminds me to lighten up. Your photo reminds me to keep the chin up! Thank you.

Beautiful photo, such clean,lines and precise composition.
Most impressed by your historical house, it reminds me of a Russian datcha.

Very nice composition – and the building storm clouds are appropriate for a Sky Watch post!

The clarity here resembles burnished metal. A very grand building whose architecture is adequate to its putpose. Grey skies indeed, but they will clear up …
