Lightbulb Watching; Waiting

I always peek through these blinds in the winter, to see if it is snowing, or if it is going to. It's a ritual that relaxes me when I'm tense.

Last night, I visualized this image, almost exactly. It's a most satisfying feeling to take an idea in your head, and present it successfully. This is definitely one of those "breakthrough" images for me.

As always, ENJOY!

Well, it's a great shot...well done and especially so because you managed to do what you planned.
