Summer Solstice

Summer will begin on June 21st in the northern hemisphere. Known as the Summer Solstice, it is the longest day of the year. While we won’t see the midnight sun here on the equator, the sun do set quite late into the evening this time of the year.

A few days ago, I saw the sky still aglow at around 7:45pm as I approached the DUKE Eastbound toll plaza. Since I was the passenger, I rolled the window down to shoot. The lens was misted up a bit by the sudden change in temperature. I wiped the condensation and was lucky to get a partial clear spot.

Liquid Man Of Steel

The goalkeeper is already on his knees. Stretching his long arm and tattooed wrist, he punches the ball over the crossbar. A dramatic save from the man of steel. The Liquid Man of Steel.

Like everyone else I like the sunny days but I don’t despair when it rains. Rainy days present interesting and challenging opportunities for the lens. Like struggling with an umbrella with one hand and camera with the other.

This picture is actually raindrops rolling off the edge of my umbrella as I walked in the rain. I rotated the image vertically. Turn your phone or tablet upside down to view and you will get the picture.
