This was taken next to a canal by our house. It was my last shot of the night and I was happy to be standing up and no longer lying in the dead itchy grass with ants crawling on me, however I was weary of the canal since there have been past reports of alligators living in this one.

The lights are reflections of a street light about 50 feet away, with a slight breeze right before it started raining. This was a lucky shot for sure given the conditions.

Took this outside our complex’s clubhouse around 1AM. I like the isolation of the sprinkler’s water against the amber floodlight behind it, although I didn’t like lying on the wet ground to get it!
