These photos were taken over a decade ago on my old Olympus 4/3rd Digital SLR. This was taken in December of 2009. The wind speed had gone down with the sun, but some fog was appearing over the land where it was cooler than over the water.

Another rainy morning
I was woken on this morning by a thunderstorm, and thought, well I’m not going to get any pictures today. I pulled up the radar, and it was a smaller storm moving through pretty quickly. Then I thought, this might actually work out for me.
In typical Houston fashion, I tried running to one of my favorite spots only to find the streets had been closed. What made that more excruciating was that on the way, I loved the view, but I lost another 10 minutes trying to work around the road closures. When the light is changing quickly, that 10 minutes feels like a lifetime.
I didn’t park where I really should have, and was rushing to avoid any problems with the place I did park. It ended up working out because the light I wanted had passed anyways, but below are three shots from this morning.

Rainy Houston Morning
As a weekend warrior, I typically don’t let the weather dissuade me from going out. This cool January morning had scattered showers rolling through all morning. Fortunately, I was prepared, and had a great time shooting. This was my first time at this particular location, and the blue hour light and clouds with the wet streets did make for a cool, moody scene.

I really enjoyed this view with the tall skyscrapers surrounding the city hall, which was fortunately lit in blue to match the whole scene. Below is taken from the same perspective but I zoomed in to focus on the town hall with the skyscrapers providing a backdrop.
