It's an "Oklahoma Sky"!

One of the followers to the blog ...Cynthia (from Oklahoma)...will be surprised to hear this phrase. Here in Southern Indiana...you hear this said about threatening skies. I suppose because of Oklahoma and tornado alley.

On this particular evening, the heat had been building all day. White puffy clouds gradually turned to black/gray as the humidity increased. Part of the sky was still blue but the onslaught of bad weather was eminent. The orange setting sun and shadows cast by the ominous clouds however created perfect picture conditions. The long shadows highlighted the age of the barn and the newly cut grass. Just to the west...left of the picture...the clouds were gathering and a soaking was in the works.
