Taken from inside my car as the rain came down so hard it was nearly a whiteout. In the background are a stack of wood pallets.

It looked like this, just before the rain. :-)

Thank you! I love when someone commits to the color of the day, the weather--auto white balance or pp warming would have destroyed the mood and feel here. 7

I like this photo. It feels a little dark and I think it would be most excellent in black and white, but the blue hue works well here as well.
