The rain is commin

We've had 2 years of drought so far, which makes this more depressing because the rain you can see never made it to the farm,This is a popular photo with alot of people, people have asked me if it was a painting. By the way thats me in the photo.

The photo was taken by me using a 10 second timer while the camera was sitting on a fence post. Nothing has been changed at all in this photo the rain is just as I saw it, the contrast was left alone and so was the brightness. This hasn't had any changes to it at all.

    Given the description of how this photo was take my hat off to you. Keep up the good work (farming and photography).

    This photo tells such a sad story. To know the rain never reached your farm is way sad. But the photo is beautifully done. Awesome!

    I need an eye transplant: you took the pic with the same cam I have. Just eyes, heart, or brain can explain the difference between yours and mines

    Great image. It really makes for a great photo with you standing
    there in the dry paddocks watching and hoping for the rain to
    come your way. It normally never does. Well done.

    Always happy to see big rain clouds out in the country even if they look quite intimidating. They can be a bit rare at times . Beautiful capture.

    10 second exposure and you manage to stay so still. It is a terrific photo - very moody. Pity the rain didn't make it to the farm. I have friends who farm in Goomalling and it's always hit and miss with rain.
