Small Favors

January 29, 2016 in Antigua in the Caribbean.  I set my alarm for 5:30 and trudged down to the beach from our cottage. After crossing the beach I headed up the hill to the road that leads to Devil's Bridge, a blowhole. This is also the best close location for the sunrise. By the time I reached the road it started to rain. I turned and started down the hill seeking shelter for obvious reasons. Halfway back down the hill, the rain abated, so I turned around went back up. I walked a hundred yards or so and the rain began to pound. I ran to this old food trailer and stood in the lee of the driving rain. I tucked my camera and tripod up into the remains of the canvas canopy and put my bag with other equipment on the tire. I tried to stand close to the trailer to avoid the rain, but all the rain from the roof poured down directly on me. Consequently, I stood about a foot from the trailer and got soaked to the bone. I could have wrung out my clothing I was so wet. Absent this food cart, my equipment would have been soaked.  Fortunately the rain abated and I was able to get a series of sun-rise shots.  I will post them on the Landscape Gallery.
