Description
One of the reasons I stopped by the battlefield at Antietam on this particular October day, was the interesting things going on in the sky. As I gazed over at a somewhat ordinary looking field (though heaven only knows that what went on in this exact spot 150 or so years ago was far from ordinary) I was amazed to see a rain squall coming up in the distance, and coming up fast. Loved seeing the still-clear blue sky to one side, while the other end of my field of vision was going to get a drenching. (Notice I did not say "left" and "right"?)
There's a metaphor to current events in there somewhere. I leave it up to the viewer to decide what it is.

Thank you, Joel!!! One of the things about this region, with the mountains being close by, the weather can get pretty cool looking!!
