There’s always light in the dark, I had a goal of the trip to New York City in 2020 was capturing the snowfall moments on the streets, something I hadn’t seen in Taiwan’s streets before, but somehow in February of the year 2020 was warmer than usual.
“Well, my plan didn’t go as well as it could have” I was thinking about it and walking forward against the strong wind and heavy rain... and suddenly, something happened... the heavy rain stopped, the sunlight emerged from the dark clouds, all the depression was gone, I just felt nothing but peace and calm.
I took my camera out and took the photo, it became one of my favourites moments in the year 2020, it will not be forgotten.
