Heavy rain hitting the ground at an intersection, showing visible impact and a white blurry line above the pavement from the downpour. Purple, hot pink and gold light are reflected in vertical bands from a business sign and streetlamps across the street. The bottom of a strip of buildings across the street is visible above the rain line.

Image of the grand canyon with a band of sky in the upper quarter of the image. There are splashes of colour here and there from peachy brown to pink to magenta to wine to violet to purple.

#PostProcess

In my Samsung phone image editor, I adjusted the light balance, contrast and shadow to add detail, then used the "spot color" tool to show the range (heh) of individual hues in the original image. But kept them isolated spacially for impact.

Lake Ontario at sunset. A large splash from a wave at shore crashes against a dock jutting into the lake that has a large, dirt-covered wave accumulation of ice on it. The sky is pink and lavender on the right under the clouds near the horizon. The rest has a faded blue cloud cover.

A front garden of clusters of large, purple irises with ruffled translucent petals, back-lit by the sun. There's lots of green foliage, including a tall leafy tree. The strong backlighting from the sun in the upper right creates a bright lens flare, tinging the tree leaves framing it purple. A bit of sidewalk and paving bricks appear in the bottom right corner.

A streetcar shelter packed with suitcases, boxes, and personal items. The glass is reflecting a streetcar passing on the opposite side of the street. Inside the shelter is a transit system map, an arrival display, and an ad for spaghetti sauce showing a hand holding a ladel that's pouring tomato sauce over a bowl of spaghetti. An OPEN HOUSE sign is also being reflected. There's a car parked behind the shelter

Two story, aged brick building in an alley, with randomly arranged multicolour bricks of yellow, grey orange, red and black. There are gridded block glass windows on the ground floor on either side of a metal gate door. The second floor has two three-paned windows. Conduit pipes run up the side of the building. Almost half the image below is worn, textured asphalt, showing layers of pavement, and there are two rusty storm drains. A small amount of snow lines the curb in front of the building.

Two streetlamps jut out from the right side of the frame. A wispy fluffy blue cloud formation floats at the very top of the image. The sun is radiating beam waves, spreading throughout the sky

The flyer is a black ink graphic of a crying skull with heart-shaped eyeholes and a corded rotary telephone receiver up to its ear and mouth. The voice in the receiver is saying "confess your yearning" under the skull is the words FOR I HAVE YEARNED, and under that is "a night of poetry"

Part of an A-frame house is across the street on the right, dim glints of parked cars, a barely visible large tree, a street lamp forget in the background, and the faint glow of traffic from a street in the distance.
