Very nice image of the sky. That is what my grandfather (he grew up in Lawrence) called a "mackerel sky". Usually leading a storm. The steely-gray of the image evokes winter which is reinforced by the ice on the river. Certainly a bleak mid-winter mood.

Fantastic sky. I like the bluish hue - it has that cold feel to it. The bottom of the image is not terribly interesting but you gotta have something to put the sky in context.

I like the graphic quality here Scott. I work in Andover, MA near the Merrimack River butI get the feeling this is further north.

That sky is a real eye-catcher and the cloud patterns seem to be (faintly) echoed in the river ice. The white blob in the trees, center frame, is a little distracting although nothing can really pull the eye away from those clouds. Nicely done
