Rainy Day

in

Where I live, June was very warm this year. But the weather has changed, and today we’ve had a strong winds and heavy rain. The temperature dropped quite a bit too, and it felt more like early September than the first week of July. Even if it felt like the autumn briefly visited us, it is within what we might expect. It is the high temperatures in June that are outside the norm.

Streaks of Summer Rain

This is an image from a few months back. Sunshine and showers had been alternating throughout the day, and when I got home that afternoon I happened to look out the window and decided to get the camera out. After experimenting a bit with the exposure I decided on a longer exposure which transformed the raindrops to streaks of light running across the frame.
