So here in the Northeast we are getting ready for a big storm, and look Bob the sky is red, Red sky in the morning sailors take warning! We are bracing for a major winter snow storm, I brought in a couple days worth of wood, went to the store to get a fresh batch of batteries and bought some groceries. So now to sit and watch the snow come in, I'm quite cozy with the wood fires buring though! Tomorrow I'll be shoveling!

Excellent sky, light and pink tones. A different winter scene...

Hi Donna,

Familiar sight of this lake shore, however a very intersting sky this time - glad to hear you are all stocked up and will be warm and cozy during the coming storm.
Be careful with the shoveling and keep the camera at hand to report that as well, because we probably never get to see snow here.

Hi Donna,
Excellent winter picture. Lovely red sky. It has been light snow in Toronto through out the day, and I guess the heavy stuff is just about beginning. As you say, lot of shoveling to do tomorrow!!

Hello Donna,
Wonderful colours and great lines in this composition!
I think I can see some bad weather coming up in the horizon, as the darkness slowly chase the fine light away...
An attractive and well balanced composition!
Greetings,

Hi Donna,
A beautiful early morning capture and the red sky is looking very nice even though it more than likely brought some bad weather. Our bad weather starts today...supposed to be a whopper of a storm.
Composed well, beautiful colors and detail is good. Have a hard time taking my eyes off this sky though...very pretty! Nice shot!

Lyndon

Hi Donna, fascinating winter composition with splendid sunside colors, wonderful perspective and superb sky, very well done, ciao Silvio

Bonjour Donna,
Beautiful landscape and nice sky, Excellent POV. with great colors and sharp picture Excellent details very well done..
Michel

And a charming calm at that, Donna. From what I hear that red sky warning was especially apt in this case. I like all the lines leading to the horizon on this, especially that bank of clouds rolled up just over the horizon and the sunrise. Hope you stayed warm!

Hi Donna.
Beautiful capture, great light, wonderful sky, superb composition, you have really done well with this photo, my compliments.
Donna Rasmussen, married to Mr. Anders Rasmussen, it sounds like he comes from Denmark. Anders and Rasmussen are Danish names and on top of that he are a seaman he must be a Dane.
Good choice Donna.
Best regards
Jens.

hello Donna

lovely landscape perspective
from my point of view the colours of the clouds and the sky are the most important part of the picture
the composition is very good, you have placed the horizon perfectly

regards

Hi Donna,

Wonderful sunrise over lake Erie. I especially like the line of clouds in the BG, they are well lined up and separates the sky in two. And yes, what a storm. We have received around 35cm to 40cm at our place. Too bad I don't have time for snowshoeing.

TFS

PC :)

Like the colour and reflection on snow.
