During my holidays there was only one day in the week that was forecasting sun. This was obviously the day I was going to take advantage of the light but what I didn't know was that this was also the day my wife was going to take advantage of my painting abilities. So you can image how enthusiastic I was to be painting inside the house as I looked out the window to see the beautiful sunny day. By noon I was done my bit and finally got to get out of the house.
I headed up north to discover new landscape. The more I drove, the cloudier it got. By the time I got to where I wanted to go, it was overcast and gray. I turned aournd drove back and as I got closer to my home the sky got clearer and clearer, only to realize that it was sunny all day at home.
I got the snowshoes out and headed to a small river and captured this Winter Sunset as the clouds from the North finally moved in. As I stood there on thin ice, I couldn't stop but think how unlucky I had been, missing out on all the days light. And then I thought, with my luck today, I better get off this thin ice before I start swimming with a tripod and camera.
From the brighter side of the darkroom,
