Time for another song lyrics contest! Take a photograph that best depicts one or more lines from the song "Africa" by Toto. You are required to post the line of text you are depicting in the description, but not necessarily the entire song. Good luck! Lyrics can be found here.
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way,
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you
CHORUS:
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serangetti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
CHORUS
(Instrumental break)
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Howdie stranger! If you want to participate in this contest, just:
Cool shot... wish there was a little more of the top of the umbrella though
author says:
i didn't include the top because I wanted the focal point of the image to be the rain spilling off the umbrella...i tried with more umbrella, but it just didn't have the composition I was looking for...but thank you kyricom, your input is ALWAYS good and appreciated...
IT's a nice shot,but ... I don't know if you'll understand what I mean, but IMHO, it needs more contrast. It's too "Grey", not enough Black and White ...
Nice!
Howdie stranger!
