Sailboat Caught in the Rain Shower
Dark, heavy clouds loom over Lake Como in Italy, as a sudden rain shower batters the surface of the water. A small sailboat is tossed on the violently rocking waves, while the surrounding mountains and gloom create a dramatic atmosphere. It captures a moment of natural, overwhelming power and solitude.
