Imagine There's An Image

When the rain comes, they run and hide their heads...

Yeah, that's what I do, too, unless I happen to think about photo-opportunities in the rain.

Last Friday was the first rainy day in a long stretch of boring, beautiful autumn weather. Just kidding - beautiful but not boring. Anyway, Friday morning I woke up, jumped out of bed, and for some reason, before much else went on in my head, it occurred to me to take some photos on the way to work. Autumn leaves on rainy pavement, who knows?

This photo is my favorite of the soggy bunch that morning. It's one of the footbridges on the B&A Trail, a 13-mile "linear park" that stretches from Annapolis to Glen Burnie. I like the way the rain darkens the wooden boards and makes them glisten. All the better to serve as a staging area for some bright fallen fall foliage.
