A dense bank of clouds kicks up over a tree-lined neighborhood street in this square black and white photograph. We are on the street with cars are parked to our left and right. A few houses are tucked in among the dark trees across from us. The band of clouds takes up the middle third of the picture above the street. A few puffs float near the top left corner of the photograph in the otherwise empty sky.
