13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Mobile
Rain in Amsterdam

For me, this photo is very special and intimate as whole spectrum of feelings and emotions is bared in it. It is bared by telling stories, which are on both sides of the glass. If you look at this picture with an open heart, you can see a tiny dog in the basket of the bicycle, taken to the vet where he will hear merciless diagnosis of plague. You can see a girl on the back seat of the tram, where she reads the last text message from the man she thought to be the love of her life, before he disapeared and she does not know the reason why. Or maybe you will feel yourself on this side of the glass and you will be happy that it rains. Because if it rains, nobody can see your tears.
