"A member of the grounds crew tries to wrangle in the tarp as they prepare the field following a 26-minute rain delay prior to the game between the Atlanta Braves and Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on July 19, 2011 in Denver, Colorado."
Today, I thank Mother Nature for bringing the rain.
Although the Rockies smashed the Braves 12-3 on Tuesday evening there weren't many interesting images to be made during the game. Thankfully I made something I was happy with long before the game started.
My car was at the shop and I didn't get to pick it up until late in the day so I was running a little behind compared to how early I like to arrive at games. As I drove down Colfax it seemed as though I was headed into the eye of the storm as it rained sideways and lightning struck every few seconds.
The whole drive to the ballpark I was thinking of what kind of weather feature I was going to try and make. Just as I made my way into the press box I could see the grounds crew removing the sandbags from the tarp. I grabbed a few cameras and raced down to the field, anticipating the tarp's removal.
I made a few straightforward images before the the above happened. Sometimes all it takes is being in the right place at the right time and Tuesday I was.
