devotee
On the morning of the first day of the Feast of Sant’Agata, I looked out my hotel window and saw a solitary devotee heading toward the cathedral.
It wasn’t long before the streets would be filled with people, many of them dressed in the traditional feast-day clothing like this gentleman. This moment, although I didn’t realize it then, was the only bit of quiet for a long time: the parades celebrating the Saint are loud and joyous.

Someone secured the gate by leaving the open padlock on the wall. I am not a safety expert but that strikes me as being not secure.
But anyway, the raindrops and the colors looked good together and that’s really all I was after.

I think normal people, if they woke up on a chilly Saturday and heard the rain, would have a probably rolled over and gotten some more sleep.
Photographers are not normal.
So I got up and went downtown to photograph rain falling on Lubbock’s downtown, which is pretty bleak to start with.

Why not take an ant’s-eye view photo?
Lorenzo’s not the kind of town that requires a long wait for a break in traffic there on the main street (which is actually Harrison Street), but still, that morning that I was there, it did seem like a statistically-unlikely number of people were out (and further, that they slowed down when they went by) on that Friday morning.
