Notes
Overall, during the day，it was a gloomy sky and started
to drizzle，I decided to take by a color raw format which
could preserve everything. Due to the gloomy sky induced
very gray in color which could retain all particulars in
layers. Finally，I turned out to black and white so that
more abundant layers could occur.This is my opinion！
Thank you！
