Santa Monica Civic Center parking structure on a stormy night

We had one of those rare one-week periods of back-to-back Pacific storms with almost constant rain, which is not completely
unusual for Southern California in January but nevertheless it made us feel like hell-fell-over-earth. I know, I know... we are so spoiled!
I went out during a brief lull in the torrential rain to take advantage of the reflective quality of the wet road in front of this beautifully illuminated structure.

This is far better than the usual "moving cars pictures". The interplay of horizontal and vertical streams of light make a very nice composition. The wet undergrond makes it dramatic.

Nice take Yves. I've spent time with this building during daylight. It's beautiful with mirrored asphalt. It really picks up the color; nice exposure, not too much - just enough - g
