A walk in the rain

    Amsterdam (Netherlands) - December 2007

    “Color is the place where our brain and the universe meet.” (Paul Klee)

    As soon as I saw this guy with the umbrella I knew I wanted to take this picture, but because of the rain he was walking so fast it was very hard to keep up... so I ended up following him, almost running behind him, until I was able to take this. He never noticed I was there... the whole experience was really really fun, actually. =)

    Winner of the Scavenger Hunt #6 @ The World Though my Eyes! Wow, thanks! =D
