Looking through the windshield on a rainy afternoon …
I made some photographs outside of the car, too, but it was this view through wavering raindrops that truly caught my eye.

Through the Raindrops

Fluid Limbs
A double exposure (the figure), water reflections and merged layers. You have to learn how to swim in all this rain…

Mapping the Shoreline 1
Map-like surfaces scraped into the rocky shore.
A rare rainy day here, not long ago. It seems as though the entire summer’s worth of rain fell on this one day.

Rain
We’ve been having bits of rain today. It is a sweet relief for a parched land with cracking earth, wilting trees and low rivers. The mudflats stretch on and on like a low tide.
I rarely insert myself into the landscape but today I felt part of it.

The Weight of Water
The heady fragrance of rain is filtering in through the windows. A rain that has been holding off for so long it is welcomed. A smell that feels like a luxury, much like putting your head on a pillowcase that has spent the day outside tracing shadows on the ground. Sun drenched. Rain drenched. It is the balance that is perfection.

Grey is the New White…
rain is the new snow and warm is the new cold. Truly is doesn’t feel like winter when it’s 10° Celsius and you can walk around without a hat or gloves. Not a trace of snow. December, is this really you? I realize it could all change quickly but winter has been moving in at a snail’s pace.
