It Was a Dark and Stormy Morning

Day three of practice using manual settings and the zone system preparing for using my vintage 35 mm rangefinder. I nearly deleted this image as woefully underexposed but then decided, once I had cropped it, that it had a certain "atmosphere" that I liked and that reflected both the weather and  my mood  this morning - dark with a touch of color. 

*the extra is a more industrial snap from my shortcut through the back lot of a nearby shopping center.
