abbey strand (with rain)
I didn’t actually even own an umbrella until I was 19 years old and was moving from Lubbock to a wetter locale for college. And then I went someplace even wetter for grad school, where I know for sure I kept umbrellas in my car all the time. But then I came back to Lubbock and probably don’t quite recall how to open an umbrella. And when I went to Scotland last year, I didn’t even take an umbrella with me. I’m not a total idiot – I had a waterproof coat with a hood and anyway how can you hold an umbrella AND use a camera?

About half way up the drive to Los Alamos there’s a scenic pullout, and “normal” travelers might pull over long enough to take some selfies and/or glance across the landscape before they get back in their cars and resume the trip.
Photographers (who are almost never in the “normal” camp) will pull over, turn off the car, get out cameras and lenses and tripods and ND filters, and spent a long-ass time making photos.
In case you were wondering why it takes photographers practically forever to get anywhere.
