This is facing the other side of the road, away from the river. The low clouds aren’t quite as noticeable. This area is prime country for deer, elk, and bighorns, though on this trip, we only saw a few deer, a coyote, some bald eagles, a hawk, geese, and a few swans. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any pictures of the animals. By the time we saw them, it was too late to get good pictures of them.
I think ominous is another good descriptions.
Yes. The clouds are waiting to drop snow.
