It was a dramatic scene at the waterfront this morning just as it was starting to rain. The soft blue light of dawn was sharply contrasted by a single small opening in the clouds that let through some bright orange light.
I got out there just as the intensity of the colors was starting to heighten, and as the rain started coming down I quickly set up and grabbed a few pictures.
The rain quickly became too much to bear and I retreated under a tree to wait for it to pass. It was gone within minutes, but so were the colors and drama of the scene, as everything had turned a dreary light gray.
But my work was already done. I walked home, happy that timing was on my side today.
