Looking For Color In Ohio ( For Sky Watch Friday)

swfsmall IN THE HOCKING HILLS NEAR LANCASTER,OHIO

For SKY WATCH FRIDAY I’m going to try and find some color on this winter day. Leaving Lancaster,Ohio behind and heading for the Hocking Hills I will be looking for some “high ground” to search for some color on this gray day.What could be better than a Fire Tower for a good view?

Can you see it? Way off in the distance I think I see a little color. First, I would like for you to see this photo titled (Gray on Grey).

framedhhgraygrey If all you have to work with is gray skies one must be innovative, right ????? I know I saw some color down the road so let’s take a look.
