Photographer’s Notes
I like taking photos of the night sky, especially of moon and clouds, but sadly they mostly don’t turn out. When I get a good one, it reminds me why I do it.
This wasn’t shot for the challenge. I shot it, processed it, and then discovered the challenge. Obviously – well I actually hope it isn’t obvious; it’s a composite of two photos that I simply like.
Expert editing makes it legal.
Photos I’ve liked have mostly tanked lately, so this probably will, too.
Lyrics for Brad Paisley’s “Behind the Clouds”
When you're feeling lonely, lost and let down
Seems like those dark skies are following you around
And life's just one big shade of gray
You wonder if you'll see the light of day
{chorus}
Behind the clouds, the sun is shining
Believe me even though you can't quite make it out
You may not see the silver lining
But there's a big blue sky waiting just behind the clouds
I've heard it said that this too shall pass
Good times or bad times, neither one lasts
But thinking that your luck won't ever change
Is like thinking it won't ever stop once it starts to rain
{chorus}
Behind the clouds, the sun is shining
Believe me even though you can't quite make it out
You may not see the silver lining
But there's a big blue sky waiting just behind the clouds
Yeah, there's a big blue sky waiting just behind the clouds
