So there we were, my girlfriend Kendra and I, sitting through light mist to mild sprinkles getting wetter by the minute, and I kept hoping the clouds would break and the sun would make a dramatic appearance.
I kept telling Kendra, "maybe we'll get lucky and have some glorious sun break through". We were getting wetter. We started looking for a place to seek shelter, but to no avail.
Yet we stuck around. I'm actually quite surprised we didn't just pack it up and call it a night. There appeared to be no relief for the gloom and doom we were experiencing.
A little light crept into the horizon, a dampened yellow glow. But the rain persisted. We held out hope and I reiterated "this could turn into something really nice, if only the rain would stop".
And then it did! The skies opened, a patch of blue sky appeared, and the race was on to capture the scene.
The power of positive thinking!
I really wanted a shot looking north. One, the little offshore rock in the distance marks the south end of Hole In The Wall Beach, a spot I have grown to love and appreciate. And it just so happened that the window of light that just opened was in that general direction. Oh sweet glorious light!
I have at least two more images from tonight as we happily snapped away at the clearing in the sky as it headed south across the ocean.

ReplyDeleteYou may want to replace a link to the image.
I've learned a lesson too. It does pay off to stay and hope. When I got to the beach, the sky was completely gray, but all was about to change within 30 minutes.
Ivan, I changed the link, I replaced the image once yesterday to include my "signature". I guess flickr makes a new link each time.
