After A Rainy Night

February 16 started wet. It poured all night long. Fortunately (as some would say) it wasn’t cold enough to show. I wanted to show what a night of rain could do to places that usually only handled a little water. I went out to Mingo Creek Park in search of a waterfall. I visited a few of the likely spots, but they were absolutely overrun. Most of the park was flooded. I remembered a nice little waterfall still technically inside of the park that was usually a trickle. Today it raged with water. It was so loud at this spot that I couldn’t hear my shutter. I was surprised that so many trees had fallen in front of the falls, but it made for a good breakup of the scene and provided stationary elements that contrasted the long exposure softness of the composition. I was hesitant to leave this one in color, but something about the pastel softness of the sky and the muddiness of the water worked for my eye.
