A number of the ball fields in the area have been covered with a thin layer of plastic for the winter months, making this soccer pitch look a bit like a hockey rink. Seems like an expensive thing to do, draping everything with plastic. But, I know nothing of such things... I just felt sure that I wanted to capture a photograph of the scene in front of me. I wasn't overly confident that the old Pentax K-01 I had with me would operate when the temperature outside was only 30 degrees, much less be up to capturing a decently exposed photograph of this strongly backlit scene. In the end, it actually did okay.
