Against The Wind…

I took this photo of my oldest daughter in late November.  We were at the boat docks in the early afternoon as a storm was blowing in.  It was very windy, very cold….so she turned her back against the wind.  I was a bit further down the pier taking photos when I turned around and saw this shot.

After downloading this image and processing it, I titled it “Against The Wind”.   The name came to me as I looked at it…her back to the wind, the sunshine versus the storm clouds….it reminded me of the song Against The Wind by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band…..specifically the chorus….

Against the wind
We were runnin’ against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin’
Against the wind

I think about this chorus when I look at this image and when I look at her.  She is young, she is strong but I know she has mountains to climb and oceans to swim….and she will be running against the wind.
