It rained almost continuously on the day this image was captured. Using a focal
length of 840mm this image was captured through just over one quarter mile of
rainy atmosphere, giving it a very soft and ethereal quality it would not
otherwise have. The more distant background is nearly obscured by the rain, but
suggestions of it can still be seen. Due to the softness of this image we print
it to a maximum size of 8x16 inches on a very warm mat finished cotton paper.
