The photo was taken underneath the US 20 bypass. It was a saturday, on a hot summer day, and I was thinking I might take it easy that day, until that is, I heard a storm approaching from the west. The first thing I did was to grab my camera bag, tripod, a windbreaker, a towel, and my sandals. I quickly headed to the truck and sat there for a bit and contemplated a location. It had to be something fairly close and something that had overhead cover. Holding an umbrella by yourself doesn't cut it as far as I'm concerned. While I sat there for a bit I prepared myself by putting 2 screw on filters onto the camera's lens, and I placed the remote into my windbreaker pouch so that I would be prepared once I arrived at the location. Now the only choice at that point was, which direction do I face ? Well, I obviously chose well. Thanks for taking the time to view, favor, and comment, I hope you enjoy the view as much as I did.
