This photo of a Rainy DC evening has always kind of felt a bit eerie to me and feels perfect to kick off October with!
I'm not entirely sure when this phot was taken anymore, but I remember it being early spring 2021 in Washington DC.
It had been a long winter of cold wet and snowy days and I had been really looking forward to some warmer weather and sunny days that I was hoping were coming. It was still early Spring however so it had been chilly and rainy for most of the days, and was raining for a few days straight. I was living with my Aunt and Uncle at the time and we were all starting to feel a little restless. So when the rain finally cleared that evening not long before sunset we made sure to take advantage of the opportunity to get out of the house.
It had been a while since I took photos so even though it was just a normal walk around the neighborhood I decided to bring my camera. We started walking and I was taking pics just capturing what I could of the wet ground with the great golden lighting from the sun poking through the grey rain clouds that had been so persistent for those few days.
We came walking around the corner and I saw this white house standing out against the darkness that was surrounding it and noticed the slight rainbow looking like it was coming out of the top of the building. I was pretty excited to see what it was going to look like when I got back to the house and was able to pull up the photo on my computer and see it on a bigger screen.
I remember pulling it up when we got back and I was sadly kind of disappointed at the time and actually moved on and decided not to bother editing it or posting it. That was until a couple years later in 2023 I was scrolling through some old photos. This time when I looked at it and the moody feeling it gave me and the contrasts between the dark edges and brighter sky and building drew me in. This was what I was hoping the photo would be originally when I took and I remember thinking how interesting it is that it took me two years to really see what the photo was and could be.
This is why I feel like this photo represents the need to not give up on things and don't be afraid to revisit something that you were once disappointed in.
