Urban Lights in the Rain

Today has been something of a marathon... it started with my dragging my sorry butt out of bed at 5am in order to get one of my boys to hockey practice for 6:30am... and ended just over an hour and a half ago when i got home with the groceries...

for this morning, determined to make the most of it, i brought along my tripod and camera... refusing to be daunted by the pouring rain, i wrapped a plastic bag around my camera and found my happy place :)

This is an overpass (underpass?) not far from the hockey arena... at least it didn't rain on me while I was under there :)

Additional shot from this morning in my other album:

Thank you for all the lovely comments... I am so far behind I fear I will never catch up... :(

very cool

[Cromwell]

It's interesting that you use the phrase "my happy place" in relation of shooting. It is like an escape from the real world, isn't it. I call mine my " lifeline from insanity"

[Carla]

Wow, those lights just suck me in. incredible!

[Kerri]

Cool

[Allison]

That is a long day. Love love love shot.......so cool!!!!

[TC]

You certainly captured the mood of the dimly lit underpass. Love the subtle color! fav

[❀ Lynn]

Great capture...and is that a silhouette of a person down the way....it's kind of eery.

@lynnb yeah... it's me - actually... unbelievably a couple people did walk thru as i was shooting (in that hour, on a sunday morning, in the rain), but they didn't register on camera... the scene needed something!

[❀ Lynn]

@northy Cool....it does add to it for sure!

[Lyn]

Always love your train shots!

[Karen H]

nice capture

[Peter de Graaff]

My happy place was out in a landscape in stormy wild weather so it is hardly surprising yours is next to the tracks. Blue squares and silhouettes are very cool. Sunday night for you and already tired. I think I have Mondayitis, but at least could get some film developed.

Great feel to your capture.

[aurorajane]

[Takahiro]

Cool!

[Lisa Pouncy]

I love that flash of blue. Great shot xx

[ladyjane]

Cool shot! Love the purply-blue and orange.

[Erinn Dubay]

Such a cool shot. I love the lights, the darkness and especially your silhouette.

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love the lines in this. Kinda scary. Best on black I think. :)

I wouldn't worry too much about catching up. You're sharing your work with us, and that's to our benefit.

[Stacey]

Is that your son or a stranger in silhouette? Anyway really adds to the shot, lots of different cool lighting going on.

[Jeff Walker]

I love the creepiness of this shot
