Re: "Official" Nikon 500 f/5.6E PF Discussion and Image Thread
Thank you so much Bruce.
I’ve found that I enjoy experiencing nature in the rain. I think it started in my teen years, when bass-fishing my boyhood ponds in the rain. I just could not stay away from fishing then, and I gradually learned that it was even better in the rain. I know how much you love nature too Bruce, and so I know that you know what I mean.
The rain is quiet and peaceful, and surroundings become a firmament.
Today’s human world is increasingly noisy and stressful. The rain changes that. Most people avoid the rain. So, the rain takes me to greater solitude in nature. That is another huge benefit of going out in nature in the rain.
When I was there yesterday morning, I saw a young man (teen) swimming out to a granite ledge….in the pouring rain. At the time I spotted him standing on the ledge, it was raining as hard as can be seen in the image of the male loon swimming alone. As the young man was leaving, we passed each other, and I found I knew him from past outings. I told him that he reminded me of myself (me?) when I was his age. I did the same thing in that same pond, many years ago. In the summer, I lived in that water all day. Funny thing, when swimming, the water felt warmer in that summer rain.
Best to you
