Rainy Day in a Pinhole

Posted by Paul Ricciardi (Rock Hill, United States) on 22 November 2006 in Plant & Nature.

It's been raining for almost two days straight here, with some sleet, ice, and flurries intermixed with the rain. It's also begun to (finally) get cold.
I can't help but be reminded of New England and her drearily beauitful weather. I love the weather there, a dreary, grey-skied day is always something special to me. I find myself counting down the days until I move out of my parent's house to go back to Connecticut. I'll only be living there for 8 months or so before I have to come back to the south for college, but those 8 months will probably be some of the best of my life. If only for the escape and the weather.
This was taken with a pinhole. I replaced the lense of my camera with a playing card that had been pinholed, fiddled with my ISO and shutterspeed, and finally came up with this. It's blurred, and you might not be able to see that this is a tree, but I still feel that it sums up the past two days.
