Rainy Day, Rainy Night


I still hadn't taken a photo today for the blog, and was getting desperate. I took the garbage can down to the end of the driveway, and across the street I thought I saw a picture. It is a neighbor's street garden and picket fence. The scene is lit by a single streetlight and I love the feeling that this lighting gives. It seems spooky looking to me. I shot it in color, but the strange color from the streetlight was a distraction. So I converted the color to black and white - this way the form of the image has more importance than the color. The fun thing is that you would not recognize this scene in daylight.

  1. It looks depressing on a raining day. You should brighten our day with sunny flowers or sunsets! Joan :-)
