Another late-night in-between moment

Many of the photos I take are the result of what I like to call in between moments.

They happen when I’m in the midst of doing something else and I end up with some extra time on my hands. It need not be much, even as little as a few seconds or minutes.

It could be while I’m waiting for the phone to ring. Or watching the dog endlessly sniff a tree. Or, as I was here, hanging around a darkened parking lot late the other night waiting for our daughter’s bus to arrive.

As it turns out, darkened isn’t completely dark, and the light spilling out of this large glass facade was almost calling out for a closer look. And since I’ve never been one to ignore the quiet call of a weird-looking scene, off I trundled to the institutional building looming over the far corner of the dusty lot.

I managed a couple of frames before the familiar sound of a diesel-powered bus broke the silence and called me back to reality. But for those brief in between moments, I was able to carve out a tiny adventure that might have otherwise not happened.

Lesson learned: listen to the little voices that tell us to go for it.
