Just As I Got There ...

Yesterday, as I chased the rain across the city looking for a suitable subject, I kept thinking of a photo of the Yarnell barn nearly concealed by a thick gray veil of wind-driven rain. The trip to the barn and my new favorite position to shoot it was through heavy rain and even heavier squalls sometimes obscuring the car immediately in front of me and slowing traffic.

The weather conditions were not of the variety that would permit anyone sane from driving at the speed limit, so I trudged along Main to Cleveland to County Line then through parking lots to the closest spot to shoot from.

Now there was good news and bad news. The good news was that I wouldn’t need the umbrella that I’d previously settled onto the passenger seat. The reason I didn’t need it was the bad news. It stopped raining and the sun was beginning to shine ruining my idea of the barn lost behind a wall of blowing rain.

I made a photo anyway using trees as framing objects and the tree bed to eliminate the sidewalks.

Next severe rain storm with even heavier squalls I’ll begin at Yarnells.
