We're getting some record rain here in the Portland area...a taste of things to come during our "rainy season!" I decided I better just get used to it, and headed out this morning with my camera. I got kind of interested in the smeary scene created through the windshield when the wipers have been turned off for a little while; I was trying to put a dreamy spin on this dismal weather. I'm pretty happy with how the photo turned out, although it received mixed reviews at my house. I suppose it does look a little too blurry. I was playing around with just how much water to have on the windshield, and probably need to work on that a little more. As a warning, "through my windshield" will probably be a theme I work on this winter.
Pictured here is the Venersborg Schoolhouse in Battleground. The schoolhouse has been well maintained, and serves as a community club. It was built in 1912 to service what was mainly a Swedish community.

Taking photos no matter the weather can be a challenge here, but thank goodness you've decided to do it when you can get a result like this one. I no longer own a car, but when I have a Zipcar, I often pull over to take photos from the windows or the windshield.
