A Day of Failure

Found myself up and about at 6 in the morning on Thursday and decided to take advantage of the situation by taking a picture of the sun rising off the top of the Santana Row parking garage. A great idea I know, if only the sun had co-operated! Instead, thanks to a combination of the direction the sun rose from/The Valencia/The Mountains I didn't see the sun at ALL. Instead, one second it was dark and then -ever so subtly- it was day. Oh well, I'll be back when the circumstance are a bit more favorable. And its not like I let the day just go to waste.

But wait, there's more after the jump...

In the rain through the car's windshield

After the whole "sunrise" debacle I thought maybe I'd drive up to Niles and of course as soon as I did it started to rain. At first it was a mild drizzle -no big deal- so I set out hoping by the time I got there it would have subsided, leaving everything looking fresh, dew ridden, and beautiful. Nope. Traffic, heavy rain, and more traffic. Finally I shook my fist at the sky and called it a day. I'm content with the pictures I got, especially that last one, so the way I figure it...I win!

P.S Have you guys noticed the "kgb photography" at the bottom right hand corners? Of course you have, the reason why in a future post!
