It has been hot and humid with rain expected for a couple of days. Yesterday afternoon the rain came with a few bursts of thunder. Lovely big drops of rain. Relief from the humidity at last.I do love taking pictures in the rain, I just need to work out a better way to hold the umbrella when my camera is in two hands.
We didn't have rain when London had its storm - but could hear it on Wimbledon!
ReplyDeleteWhat about a hat with an umbrella fixed to it?

Good rain shot.
ReplyDeleteSummertime...
ReplyDeleteI have been out on a few bike rides lately when it has started to rain, and I mean really rain. So hurrah for summer!
The smell of rain after a bit of a hot dry spell is absolutely the best, great picture Mo, love rainy day images.
ReplyDeleteFab shot! Love it.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be able to take pictures in the rain, but have the same problem as you! I like the umbrella hat suggestions though lol
ReplyDeleteI love this photo! I'd love to see this kind of rain happen here! What a relief that would be.
ReplyDeleteNot easy to do. Good luck. It's your turn for rain I guess. Ours just let up and we're having better weather since yesterday. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy day! And thanks for your comment. :)

It is a challenge not to get the camera wet! But also a challenge simply not to get everyone head-down-brolly-up! I get more paranoid about the camera than myself, but am hanging out for shots of overflowing gutters, for a bit of light relief.
ReplyDeleteMy son was at Shepherds Bush Empire yesterday.
ReplyDeleteHe did see X JAPAN, in Europe for the first time ever.
Now he is back home again. I can relax.
He said it was a very warm rain.
I would have kept all the rain 'couse I hate umbrellas
ReplyDeleteThis is a good image, Mo. Everyone has their umbrella up and they are all racing somewhere.
ReplyDeleteHey, this looks like Perth, West Oz!!
ReplyDeletealways a pleasure to look at your blog - this one particularly refreshing!
ReplyDeleteWell, it looks very much like Stavanger!
ReplyDeleteI've found if I get an umbrella with a long handle, I can hug it to my body, tuck it under my elbow and thus use both hands.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely photo.
