A Hole in the Cloud

A Hole in the Cloud

over in the southwest
skies were gloomy

dark afternoon storms
had just finished

one of the days where
drama was the sky


intense as it cleared
more and more drama

holes in the cloud
permitted puddles

of cheerful sunshine


sunbeams like rain
fell on the southwestern
hillside (reminding us
of the house with
the golden windows)

it looked good
from where we stood.

bright spots
breaking through 
distant darkness

I make photos to make myself feel good; I share in hope of making you feel good. I do as much as I can in the camera, but it does not always end there. Part of making an image in the 21st century is processing a captured image in the computer. This is like dodging and burning in the darkroom of yesterday. (I've done that too.) I use Photoshop cc and Lightroom cc. The result is not always what I saw, sometimes more what I wish I saw. Sometimes, the resulting image is a creation more than a recording. Most of the time, I keep it believable and realistic. I have a Bachelor's degree in Creative Writing. I have shared poems on the internet, to an audience with more than 150 million views and I'm considering making a selection of poems, in a book or books. View all posts by murray robertson
