It's a Friday night, leaving the office on way to my car, I came across this view of downtown Providence. I really like the drama in the sky, dark ominous, foreboding. And it stands in such stark contrast to the bright, well lit buildings.

This shot was taken in front of RISD, the Rhode Island School of Design. In the foreground, two rivers meet, the Moshassuck and the Woonasquatucket. In the background one can see the 'new' Providence. Most of these buildings have gone up within the past 25 years, after these two rivers were moved. In the warmer weather, Waterfire can be seen illuminating these rivers. #snow #BVSBlue
