Rainy Day People

Presenting my photo essay on Rainy Day People.

Now, you think think that if I were going to put up a song to go with this photo essay, it would make sense to embed the song by Gordon Lightfoot called "Rainy Day People" but I won't. That would be too obvious.

Last night while surfing Youtube I came across a song called "Cherokee Morning Song". It is a native aboriginal song to the morning and it is beautiful. This is my song for this morning:

Ladies in the Rain

(humming .... ) if I were a painter .... Actually, I do paint pictures on canvas. The bulk of my work has been done in acrylics. I have experimented with water colours, oils and mixed media. However, I didn't bring my paints to the tropics, and if I did, there would be issues of finding the time. Swimming and spearfishing would compete for sunlight hours.

I was driving around Nassau when a tropical rainstorm blew up quickly. The traffic came to a standstill, and this is why I had the opportunity to take this photo from inside the car. Two ladies were caught in the rainstorm, and were using small towels to cover their heads.

Instead of painting, I used photoshop to render this as an impressionistic painting of a Nassau street during a rainstorm.
