PHOTO FLASHBACK**: the day the heavens poured open

The other day I was organizing some old photographs to archive, and I came across this photo. The day I took this photo, I had been wandering around with my camera, just wasting time shooting anything of interest I came across.

Suddenly and without any build-up whatsoever, these angry clouds came rolling in at an alarming rate, blocking out the sun in all but the small lines around each cloud. It literally looked like the sky was on fire. Rather than running for shelter from what was surely going to be a torrential rain storm, I took this picture. Such a shame I had black and white film.

Good guess, but no. Feel free to guess again!

You are roughly at the corner of Clinton and Woodbury across from the Geva Theater, a block away from the Universalist church and the park, with the statue of the guy, famous for doing.... something, I forget. I think there is a parking garage on that corner too!

That is correct! I am on the northwest corner of Clinton and Woodbury. I am across from the Geva theater, and on the southeast corner of Washington Square Park, where the statue of the guy is. The parking garage is kitty corner from the northwest corner of Washington Square Park, and the Universalist Church is across from the northeast corner.

Congratulations!
