We have had gloomy skies lately and a little blue is really nice. We are at 1F this morning with a cold night coming tonight. I am staying with some shots along the Cuyahoga River for Sky Watch. You can see Winter in the sky. I'm posting the street light photos for Dot the originator of Sky Watching.
There was this small blue patch with the sun fighting to get out. The old train station, Pufferbelly Restaurant, is in relief in the shot.
The lamp posts always make a good sky foreground.
You can see a portion of the Cuyahoga River in this photo.
I added this one to show how much brighter it looked if you used the blue section of the sky. That wasn't the true sky I was seeing.
There will be brighter skies through the world but I feel my skies show the time of the year in North East Ohio. It has been a tough Winter so far.
Your skies sure do reflect the season for sure. Man oh man, is it cold where you are!!! Bundle up! Waiting for the Skywatch Meme to get set up, have my post ready. haha
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have had more blue in your sky than I have even though you are colder at the present.
ReplyDeleteI love the shots with the lampposts.
Keep warm.
hmmm...cloudy again, huh? lovely share today!

Oh but that little bit of blue does really look so good! Even without it, the skies are beautiful - just very wintery looking. Which, after all, they should.
ReplyDeleteSplendid current post also, the contrast gives in each photograph mystery and intense sentiments! exellent photos!

Nice shots...I really like the third one.
ReplyDeleteThose are all beautiful shots to me and I really like the lamp post. I have a thing about lamp posts for some reason.
ReplyDeleteBoy, this is the second Ohio blog I have visited today that the writer has said that this has been a tough winter. And here I am in Virginia hoping that I will get see at least snow on the ground once this winter. None yet. Send some my way, Fishing Guy. Blow it east down #70
ReplyDeleteand hopefully will get here in Haymarket, VA. Oh, my! I may be eating my words one day if we get a lot! LOL! Happy Sky Watch Friday.
what a nice series of winter shots...that reflect the season quite well.
ReplyDeletethanks as always for sharing with us.

Check out those clouds - fine capture
ReplyDeleteLove those lamps and yes, I can spot a cold winter sky - we've had a few of those.
ReplyDeleteGreat skywatch shots once again, I don't know what it is, I just love shots with lamposts/lanterns. Great work.

Hey Fishing Guy it looks pretty darn cold there in Ohio. I hear you guys are getting some of the coldest weather ever while we here on the West Coast are getting spring-like weather. Go figure. We need some rain! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYeah, you can look at that sky and it just screams "cold" at you. But I really love that first shot from the upward angle. Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks for thinking of me! I like all the photos but especially the first one.
ReplyDeleteIt does seem to be an unusually cold winter but always I remember that you folks in the north have it harder than us when it comes to cold.
A beautiful set of skywatch shot!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing & have a nice day.
cold skies in your part of the country.. I won't post my sky this week and it is 40 + degrees here today and may start a riot..lol.. thanks for sharing..
ReplyDeleteCold, cold, cold. But the skies are interesting -- you're right that the lamppost is a striking feature.
ReplyDeleteSharing your gloomy skies in Ohio. I caught a brief glimps of the sun this morning,but I can't remeber when NE Ohio has had such a gloomy and grey winter.
ReplyDeleteYou do have my sympathy on this awful weather Tom.
ReplyDeleteCool photos for sky watch friday, like the dark against the light of the sky. Thanks for sharing with us all.
ReplyDeleteYep, not too bright here either. And colder than we are used to here.

Great lamp posts, I agree!
ReplyDeleteThose are great sky photos - at the first moment I thought they were black/white, but then I saw a glance of blue behind the clouds - very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful series!
ReplyDeleteDid you ever get to enjoy some blue skies that day? None out this way. MB
ReplyDeleteOh I agree the lamppost is wonderful with all the clouds. I enjoyed all your photos. Hope you are staying warm tonight. We are below zero here in Missouri. Burr. Spring is coming though.

ReplyDeleteAhhh, I love contrast. So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAll are great photos and I love the perspective.
ReplyDeleteI'm reminiscing a warmer January today. Stop by if you have time.
Some cold looking skies! It was 2 here this morning-bet you were below zero.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love those pictures with the silhouetted lamp post, they are really moody! Happy Skywatching!
ReplyDeleteWhy do street lamps make such nice photos? I love them.
ReplyDeleteHappy Skywatching.
Sometimes those gloomy skies make a wonderful theme:) Happy week end and SWF!
ReplyDeleteAlthough a blue sky is feeling much nicer, grey clouds can make a picture mucht more interesting. yours are fine grey clouds. Especially the ones with te lampposts are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHave an good weekend!
So much happening in your sky, despite the sun is barely appearing. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteWarm greetings from West Africa!
Your skies are still lovely, and I love the old lampposts. I have some pics that I took from an old area of our dowtown, but didn't put them for Skywatch, because I used the ones I took from my parents' instead. There are some lampposts in them, too, but I don't think they're as old.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed looking at the other pics on this blog page.
Thanks for what you do for Skywatch, and I like seeing people's "My World" posts, even though I am too overwhelmed to participate in that.
You've been tagged - stop by my page to get the details!
ReplyDeletenice pictures.you are right.the sun was fighting to show a bit light in the photo.
ReplyDeleteThat little patch of blue is so important in the winter. Happy skywatch, fishing guy!
ReplyDeleteLooks frosty, can you catch fish in this weather?
ReplyDeleteHello my friend..
ReplyDeleteWe have had such views over here this week.. but today we have mild weather... and bright blue skies... we have a weather warning for strong winds later so I will see how it pans out.
Shame that Mr. Linky went down this week as the Sky Watcgh numbers are rightly climbing up again each week... all the best
Tom
looks like a storm is coming. I hope it snows
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed there. Hopefully the rough winter will lighten up a bit. Not so cold here in Texas, but you can feel the cold in the pictures. I really like the lamppost shots.
ReplyDeleteGreats shots, FG!
