^________^! I'm glad you like it - really, I wanted to do more with that first one, this image was so strong that night but I couldn't find the words for it... I was riding back from work late one night over the summer, it'd been raining, it was all dark out, the only light from the golden streetlights in the church parking lot and on the street, and the water in the puddles reflected it, though when I'd gone in to work earlier, it had been silver-grey under the sky... I adore the way light reflects on water, it's so indescribably beautiful at night when it's been raining.....

And I wish you could've come to Italy with me as well, dear - I'd've had someone to talk to and photospazz with. *giggles and hugs* Cos when I went.. none of my close friends at the time were on the trip, I had people I knew, and a few people I got closer to on the trip, but.. there were a lot of times, I was just looking around, drinking things in on my own...while Vicki tried to attack the pidgeons. *giggles*
Let's go some day. ^_____^ It'd be the best! And we could take *good* pictures this time - as opposed to the atrocities of snapshots I took back then. x_x; And it'd be so fun and wonderful and yay. *GLOMPS* ^_^
