one of those places

We've all got them as photographers. The place that we drive past daily or weekly, trying desperately to figure out what it is that draws our attention, but never quite figuring out how to present/photograph either. This one is behind the airport rental car service area. I've tried to photograph it before - without much success. This past Saturday I was in the vicinity once again. This time in a pouring rain, and it was obvious that what's been missing from the view of this landscape is the reason for this feature's existence: water. P&S in hand, I went out in the rain, got moderately wet, and got a picture that finally makes some sense to me.

It's another good example of having a tool along that can help with the capture, even during inhospitable weather conditions.

Looking at the brown of the evergreens makes me wonder what is in the runoff water.

I would imagine the water immersion doesn't do them much good, even as occasional as it might be.
