Today is a gloomy, rainy day. In that spirit, I offer you this...

  

DAY 36:  GLOOM 

Some pictures seem inconsequential unless you have a little background on the circumstances of their taking.

To anyone who doesn’t know the significance of this photo, it would not mean much.

But here is the background, in the most general terms...

After watching some of the testimony in a very sensitive Marion County Circuit Court case that involved alleged sexual abuse within a family, I spotted some of the key people involved making their way down a dreary, rainy sidewalk after a particularly painful day in the proceedings.

The people under/around the umbrella had just left the courthouse.

The mood of the scene captured here seemed to me an accurate reflection of their moods, my mood - and the general tenor of the whole case.
