30 Mile Point, New York. October, 2008.
Back in October, Betsy and I went to Buffalo, New York, to visit my daughter Kelly and her husband, Chuck. On Friday they took us on a ride out in the country around Buffalo. It wasn’t an ideal day for sight-seeing because there were showers off and on for much of the day.
One of the places we visited was 30 Mile Point on Lake Ontario. There was a park there, and a lighthouse, which we enjoyed seeing. While on the lighthouse grounds I took this picture of the lake. It wasn’t raining at that particular moment, but you can see the clouds scurrying across the lake.
This is my entry for Skywatch Friday, a weekly meme of sky pictures from around the world. To see more pictures, or to post your own, click HERE.

Next time you and Betsy are in Buffalo…Give me a wave…I am sorry that the weather wasn’t better…next time I will order sunshine…Michelle

Cloudy skies while sight seeing can give you some dramatic shots! Lovely!

Hi.
That is nice shot although the weather was not at its best. Buffalo sounds to me so exotic as the friend od “Old wild West”.
Regards.

Cloudy but I can see whites promising sunshine, too! Lovely shot.

You travel round a lot. Last wek you were in St Lucia…
It looks like the clouds are in layers, none of them very promising weather wise.

You guys travel a lot. Very nice picture.
February 27, 2009 at 8:48 am |
I love how the clouds seem to be mimicing the angle of the trees to the right. Pretty shot!
February 27, 2009 at 8:50 am |
Nice shot!!! Looks like it’s going to rain any minute.
February 27, 2009 at 9:11 am |
That’s a beautiful view! Pulling it up larger really shows it off. I love being up around the Great Lakes in nice weather.
February 27, 2009 at 9:36 am |
Very nice capture and the exposure is perfect.
February 27, 2009 at 11:04 am |
At least you had a break in the rain where you captured a great picture George. I can only imagine how beautiful it would be there on a sunny day.
February 27, 2009 at 11:34 am |
Those skies look somewhat threatening.The park does look like a great place to visit.
Blessings,Ruth

A beautiful shot George!
I do like those scurrying clouds. Looking at that lush green glass I’m a little envious at the moment as I look at the field of brown out my window.
My Sky Watch is on Carletta’s Captures</a

Hi, I see what you mean about the sun but I did put it back in the sky. Lovely shot with the autumn colours of one of the trees. The clouds do seem to move very fast indeed.
February 27, 2009 at 3:42 pm |
Great cloud base and far off horizon you captured George.
February 27, 2009 at 4:20 pm |
That’s still a beautiful shot, even if the weather didn’t cooperate.
February 27, 2009 at 4:22 pm |
Hope you parked closed, since those clouds look like they could have broken loose at any moment.
February 27, 2009 at 5:27 pm |

Yes, it looks like a storm is on its way. I love the horizon…it’s so crystal clear. Great shot. Glad you had fun outdoors. Thanks for stopping by my SWF shot. Enjoy the weekend.
February 28, 2009 at 5:56 am |
Terrific contrast in the clouds, great shot.
