Isolate
You don't have to photograph the entire subject.
Don't put your camera away when it rains!
Before and after it rains you can always find good images. Subjects can take on a very interesting look when wet. Today's photograph has a few Lightroom adjustments/split toning and just a little color added.
Stay Dry
In the Hampton Roads area we have had a lot of rain. Stay dry.
Coleman Bridge
Always carry a camera and always be prepared
Do I need to say anymore?

Only Love can Conquer Hate-What's Going On!
This week has brought us a Government Shutdown. I'm reminded of Marvin Gaye's song What's Going On. (written by: Cleveland, Benson, Gaye) There is a part of the song that says "...only love can conquer hate". Today that song seems so prophetic. Today there is too much hate, too much rhetoric and it seems that nobody wants to listen anymore. Enough said.....
Oldie but goodie..
Here is another from a recent trip to Hampton's Air Power Park.
