Autumn Rain

Description


I found this Rain Chain last week at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay - Just a few days before Hurricane Sandy arrived.... I framed this against a group of trees that were all decked in their Autumn color - I also shot this at 45 degree angle to create some additional visual interest.

The use of the leaves of beautiful colors to make the rain chain stand out was exceptional and putting the chain on an angle is just fantastic composing. Love the beautiful colors, the design of the rain chain, which I have never seen or heard of, is a fabulous find and you did beautiful work in showing it to us my friend. #10402072
