This photo was taken for this challenge, but it was not planned. I’d figured I’d see something interesting, thought about how I could take a photo, got a rough idea, saw this, captured it. Easy. There were things that I saw that I could have pulled the camera out for and didn’t for some reason. I think not doing so paid off.

What I like about this is how it shows, quite clearly I feel, the effect wetness can have on a surface. It changes the appearance and the “feel” of the surface in a way that’s rather insignificant, yet interesting.

This is my submission into the three hundred-and-seventy-first Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Street Details“.

The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:

Tina

Patti

Ann-Christine aka Leya

John Steiner

Sofia Alves

Anne Sandler

Egídio

Ritva

Beth

This one is curated by Ritva. The next one is curated by Tina.

I recommend joining the community and participating in the challenges. They’re pretty straightforward, allow room for interpretation, and provide a good way to think about photography in general. If not, however, then at the very least you should check out what others submit to the challenges.

I hope you enjoy.
