When we were in Angkor Wat, Cambodia, the kids stumbled upon a long, dark tunnel. When you reached the middle of the tunnel, you could barely see your own hand held up in front of you—it was super dark with the sound of sleeping bats overhead. The kids ran ahead, laughing and giggling, tripping and making me so nervous. When they got to the end, they stopped and waited for me and Brian. I stood in this dark tunnel and spotted them at the opening. The darkness surrounding them, and the light that came colliding from behind, was breath taking. There was no better place to start shooting but in the middle of the dark tunnel.

I think I’d like to choose the background of a dark tunnel in the bowels of Angkor Wat’s temples 🙂 I’ll settle for something closer to home for now though, so I can be practiced up when I get the opportunity for some exotic place (looks like maybe Africa next year).
This post made me think of a quote I love by Ruth Renkel…
“Never fear shadows. They simply mean there’s a light shining somewhere nearby.” Praying for a blessed day for you today!
