Today, when in the morning the fog lifted for some minutes and I caught a glimpse of blue sky, it almost looked like we could get a sunny day.
I was so wrong. Not only that the fog returned for hours, no, it even began to drizzle. In the late afternoon I gave up my hope on landscape shots and decided to drive to Klagenfurt. They have a Christmas market, and that always means color and light.
I was so wrong. By the time I was there it poured down and there was no chance to get any decent shots. I already played with the thought of using one of yesterday’s images, shot immediately before I made yesterday’s “Chance Meeting”. You can even see the door in the background.
When I eventually drove down to our favorite China restaurant, I finally found the image. I had already stopped looking, at least consciously, when I recognized that they had added Christmas decoration to the already lush lights on the restaurant. I had the Sigma 10-20 mounted, and with all the cars parking in front of the lights, it was hard to get any interesting composition. OK, I thought, then with a car. And so I did 🙂
Sigma 10-20 at 10mm, f5.6, ISO 125, 1/4s, hand-held from under an umbrella.
The Song of the Day is my all-time favorite version of Cole Porter’s “Anything Goes”. It’s from the opening scene of “Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom”, sung by Helen Hobson in Mandarin. Hilarious! Hear a sound sample on Amazon.com. It’s track 8 you want. Track 16 is the normal English version.
