Two and a half inches of rain in little more than an hours time produced this gusher that greeted me just outside my building this evening. It was spouting upwards of about 8-10 inches in a constant flow from the earlier heavy downpour.
Of course, I had a camera with me, like always. A quick composition and snap of the shutter on my Panasonic LX3 and I got it. what’s interesting is the fact that there are building facilities just underneath of this gusher. The parking garage in which this was taken, is right over rooms that house equipment and where folks work. How they stay dry, is an engineering marvel to me.
I did a bit of purple tang processing on the out of the camera print, just because I felt moved to do so. Sometimes the documentary mood is upon me and I try to accurately depict the colors and lighting that both I and the camera saw. Other times. I get a bit crazy like this. Artistic license, I believe that is called.
The evening rains are slowly pushing off to the east. The lightning and thunder have passed. Time for some rest and reflection,and thankfulness for staying dry
What a stunning composition. First, I thought it was a burst of clouds from the sky. Then I thought maybe you’d gotten a telescope shot of a galaxy. Your explanation makes obvious the creative skills you hold and, thankfully, share.
beautiful I love your water shots
