Preemptive Photography

It's thinking about raining here in Cleveland (and it already has, a little), and whenever that happens the sky usually has some interesting things going on in terms of lighting.

Unrelatedly (but not for long), I used to take my camera around with me pretty much wherever I went, but then I stopped since it was slightly inconvenient. This is sort of like how I used to use Time Machine but then stopped because it was slightly unnecessary, and then my hard drive died.

So this morning on the way to work, as I drove west, the darker clouds started thinning out and as I rounded a bend in I-90 a relatively solid line separated a pretty dark cloud from a very bright blue. The surrounding scenery also seemed pretty nice, and there was a lot of light highlighting some green on some sort of tree-like object and red on a rusty bridge. As "dangerous" as grabbing my camera and haphazardly taking pictures while pointing it in the general vicinity of the horizon may have been, I wish I had it with me at the time....

The title of this post doesn't accurately describe that situation, but both words in it are applicable.
