When I took this photo, I was sitting in the comfort of the car while it poured incessantly, the rain running down the windshield blurred the trees (which looked really cool). I pulled out my Mamiya C220 TLR and captured this image on Ilford HP5 film.
This photo reminds me of what it feels like when things are challenging and we are feeling blue and our emotions distort the way we view life.
I really want to hang this in my home as a symbol of the truth that when I'm sad, I see the world differently...but it doesn't last forever. The rain will clear up and my view will be clear again.
I have had these very same thoughts. Are you me? Lovely photo, and very insightful commentary on it.

This photo associated me on Andrei Tarkovsky!
Beautiful!
And very nice explanation. I hope it will be in your home for a long time ;)

That is a very kind comparison! I had no idea who Andrei Tarkovsky was, so I googled him and OMGOSH his images are incredible!

Sometimes to see clearly we need to look beyond what is immediately in front of us. Superb photo, I love the effect this generates. @old-guy-photos says you are doing a mirror photo challenge - I might just give that a try.

I do like your photo @ilovedietcoke I also like the philosophy of it will clear up after the rain, as the saying goes "the sun will come out tomorrow".
I do have a question though, how did you center everything? I am having a hard time understanding how to center everything especially images. Can you help me or point me in the right direction?

I use < center> at the begining of my post and < /center> at the end (without the spaces).

Love how the image has been integrated with your thoughts. Sometimes we don't see what lies hidden in our images until we look at them with the view to sharing them.
