Stormy Weather

Challenge #22 in the Language Of Light series. Hosted by OldArrow.

Challenge has finished

Being a photographer means having a camera with you at all times. It is quite usual to take beautiful pictures on a nice, sunny day, but many people just leave their cameras home when the weather turns gray and rainy. Our theme is about fine tones of surrounding color in diffused light of cloudy skies and waterlogged atmosphere. Show us what you took when conditions were wet and stormy - anything but favorable. When you wished your camera was "environmentally protected" - or when you were glad it was! PLEASE observe all the rules! No fun in being disqualified.
