Purple Rain

Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 10 June 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

This was taken at night at local produce stand in New Hanover, following a day of constant rain. Ground fog was beginning to form as the temperature dropped below the dew point and the air was heavy with moisture leftover from the day of rain. This was taken during the same evening as this image

"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."

You know, Russ...I usually go for nature photos that don't include buildings or people. This is an exception. I love morning, and this image sets such a mood. Maybe it's the fog lifting from the field, or maybe it's the car parked in the driveway, waiting to take kids to school. Whatever. It is really appealing.

great long exposure, it has made it look almost like a day... the mist and cloud colour tones are indeed fantastic and the overall mood is very nice!
