The storm approaches and we retreat.
I keep the windows open until the rain soaks the cabin floor.
An afternoon of smudged and foggy horizons bleeding
into the water, seeping into my soul.
The storms on this Canadian lake are very intense. The color is drained from everything and the rain is torrential. Our cabin sits at the edge, so I often sit and watch the lightning crash into the water, which is spectacular.
great photo. i remember storms blowing through in Michigan as a kid in the 60’s and 70’s. Always during the holidays when the family would all come to the lake for a few days…
Phenomenal image and gorgeous words…wonderful post. I just love the streaks of rain blearing the glass…what an intensely powerful and beautiful scene. Jubilant cheers,
Wonderful expression of how we try to run away, but the storms still find us, reaching down to our very soul, yet your poem so nicely reveals that even storms have a beautiful quality. The photograph is awesome, capturing the blending, yet each still remain unique and its own, so hard to do.
This looks quite intense.
