Looking at one photograph at a time
Murrieta (In Passing series) copyright Douglas Stockdale - It was an unusual morning, being overcast at home, then on my drive to Riverside in the morning the sky turned to a light haze, which was followed by a cloud bank and subsequently open sky and then finally into a light fog.
