I notices some I-like-it/dislike-it mood swings when looking at the very same picture I looked yesterday..I guess we all have those moments.
Anyway..I took this picture on a rainy day walk, along with very few other pictures (2 snails, one blurry leaf, a dog..) and I wasn’t quite satisfied with it. Then, tomorrow, I was. And then again, today, I’m again not quite satisfied. Well, I’m posting it in the name of tomorrow’s satisfaction :)
So, when I like it, I like it’s contrast, south-west grey clouds vs. north-east bright light, with a lot of almost black details in the middle :)
