With the Coming of the Rain and Storms (Denali National Park & Preserve)

With the Coming of the Rain and Storms,

The sun is hidden, but only for a short time

The once placid reflections across a nearby pond

are interrupted by circles of rain, fallen from above

So I will bide my time, staying dry under some trees

Under my poncho, I hear the drip drop of water

and the coolness of an afternoon breeze

Soon the clouds will break and blue skies return

I will continue my journey and walk amongst the trees.

 

Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one early afternoon in Denali National Park & Preserve while walking the Horseshoe Lake Trail. Drizzle had started to fall, but the views around the lake and forest setting were amazing! So I stood under some nearby trees with my poncho on while the rain came down and captured a few of these images. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 3 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
