The photo above was taken just before sundown on Tuesday evening. It was an almost colorless sunset. Wednesday morning dawned bright and clear, and we had sunshine all day -- perfect for traveling. Perhaps there is something to the old saying, after all.

We've had mostly gray days here too. I still like your picture. Spring will be here soon!
So where are you planning to travel to today now that the skies are sunny and clear? Don't forget to take your camera!
That looks very cold and depressing.
Our days were a bit like that here too, but the sun is shining this morning, snow coming in by the end of the week.
That's one reason I love winter, Pat.. You can see the sky through the trees. Once Spring gets here---you won't be able to see as much of the sky.
Having the leaves off of the trees is also good for birding!!!!
Great winter shot.
Hugs,

Beautiful photo! Not one of those hysterically colored sunsets you see so often (and always are beautiful too). I like this more subdued one. Maybe the old sayings are more often right than the new computergenerated weatherforecasts. Who knows?
That's an 'old' saying 'new' to me, thanks. I shall keep a lookout to see if it works in UK.
Love the silhouette, Pat. It looks so menacing.
Glad the storms Monday didn't get you like expected.
A gentle sky and a lovely lattice of branches.
The trees are so beautifully outlined against the grey blue sky.It's a great photo.
Great gray sky photo. I agree with the others that gray skies can indeed my impressive, just in a more subdued way.
Colorless it may be but still adds so much emotion in this photo. The tree branches made this photo! Happy swf!
I hadn't heard that version before. Where I was born we used to say Red sky at night shepherds delight..next time I'm making a trip I'll look for a grey sky.
The lack of color works well with that tree. It is wonderful!
Awesome shot as always Pat, thanks for sharing.
Have a great weekend!

I love all kinds of sunsets. Yours looks particularly wintry. I'll call it silver - sounds a bit dressier.
Leave-less trees can make the most interesting patterns, as you have clearly shown.
Love the angle!
gray is beautiful, this is a perfect example.
Nice grey sky thru the trees, great shot.
Gray can be beautiful, too. And I think I see just a hint of lavender in there... ;)
Did you get any of the storms over your way on Tuesday night? Enjoyed your picture. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. =)
I really like this shot! The branches in silhouette - a little mystic - and quite calming to watch!
It looks like something out of one of those scary movies.
I love the poem with the perfect picture. I did something similar on my blog today, too.
So do you have some plans to travel now, too?
Take lots of pictures!

Beautiful photo, Pat. I just love bare branches against the sky, even if its colorless. I traveled on Tuesday and it was a perfect day for that here, too. Happy SWF!
Skies are gray where I live also. Your picture is very nice though. I guess the sky can't be robin blue everyday huh?
Thanks for having me

Seems that most of the northern hemisphere evenings are grey at the moment. But soon spring and summer will come around your way again and the winter will creep down here to us.
Your photograph is great and I think the branches of the trees compliment it beautifully. Have a great weekend.
Lovely photo, nice tones and contrasts.
What a neat picture - very wintery.
Great picture, love the b&w look the dim light has given it.
very lovely in all the subtle colors!
I love your gray sky!! Such a beautiful photo!
This is a very fine evening picture. Quiet and restful.
Like the way the tree is silhouetted Pat - nice shot.
It's nice we can find beauty in the monochrome gray, because we have so much of it.
Beautiful picture, if it is a bit grey...but that's been the way of our days here, too.

Hi Pat
It's wonderful, sky as background of plants and trees!

Such a dramatic and wintry scene, lets hope spring is close by!
