In his submission George writes:

"Last Fall we once again joined up with a Canadian couple we've known for many years.  We travel from NYC and they come from Ottawa so we try to pick a destination that is equidistant to meet at for a long weekend.  Last year the choice was Kennebunkport, Maine - a place that our friend Robin had often visited with his family as a child.
 
Unfortunately, Robin has gone "over to the dark side" and brought along his then new Nikon D-200.  I carried my Nikon F-5 just to show him that film was still alive.
 
On Saturday morning we woke to grey skies and a light drizzle.  It certainly did not look like it was going to be a good picture taking day - but we drove around the area, looked at some interesting sites and made it to lunch before the skies really opened up.
 
Later that afternoon the rain had ceased and we were poking around the shops in the Village of Kennebunkport. We wandered into a potter's shop and workplace and suddenly the sun came out and sent a shaft of light through the open door.  The shot you see was taken in available light - although I did have the F5 on auto.  The film I used, by the way, was the "newer" Portra 160NC."

Please thank George for participating. Remember, this is a monthly activity, so if you haven't been spotlighted yet, your turn will be coming.

Thanks everyone,

Robert

I'm particulary attracted to the side lighting on this photograph, it really give the shop you were visiting a certain feeling - one that says "this place is interesting" is the best way I can describe it. I've always wanted to visit Maine, and perhaps one day I will.

Thanks for sharing,

An old Hasidic story says we should wear a coat with two pockets in order to receive God's message. In one pocket, the message is: "You are nothing but one of billions of grains of sand in the universe." In the other, the message is: "I made the universe just for you."
