Coal Loaders in the Rain

It has been a week of medical appointments for David and I. I had one yesterday and got soaked because we had a thunder storm just as I was leaving home.

I had another medical appointment this morning and luckily the rain has stopped today.

This shot is another one from Monday when we were in Newcastle and it was at this point where we managed to lose the oversize vehicle we had been tailing for 40 km. It turned left as we turned right. Unfortunately, the heavens opened again and the wipers on the car were going full pelt.

We desperately need the rain though so I am not complaining. It will help damp down the ground when the bushfire season begins next month.
Wonderful wet shot!

sometimes I think that our saved money when we retire goes on medical appointments! Hope its all fine with you - even though its wet outside!

Nice rainy day capture!

Wonderful rainy capture.

Glad you are getting some decent rain in anticipation of the oncoming Summer. Every little helps, eh? You don't want a repeat of last year's troubles.
Continuing to wish you both well in your appointments and ailments. Lots of love xx

Oh, my it's wet!
October 29th, 2020  
We sure have had a lot of rain this week. I hope you and David are ok
October 29th, 2020  
That same thunderstorm missed us in Sydney. Great shot.

@maggiemae Ha ha indeed. We are fine. David is on the mend and my medical issues are just ongoing and hopefully fixable.

@casablanca Yes we don't want another year like last November to February. I think we have caught up with the rain so fingers crossed we should be okay this year.

I will email you soon. Hope things are okay at your end.

@kjarn Thanks Kathy, we are fine, its just a bugger getting older isn't it. ha ha.

@johnfalconer We caught the edge of the storm yesterday but it just happened while I had to be out in the weather. Bad timing. @edorreandresen

@photographycrazy @ludwigsdiana @jamibann The rain has stopped today but more on the way I believe. I am beginning to get webbed feet, ha ha

Awful day but great capture Babs enough detail to see what the subject of the shot is all about, hope things went well for you both:)
October 29th, 2020  
The old grungy Newcastle! Hope you stayed dry
October 29th, 2020  
@pcoulson Thanks Peter. Going okay, I think.

@pusspup Even more grungy on a day like this.

We didn't stay dry on Monday and I didn't stay dry yesterday either but we have seen the sun briefly today.

Not the prettiest scenery and miserable rain but both serve a very important purpose and makes a great shot.
October 29th, 2020  
Ooh , so much like our British weather at the moment !but great shot !
October 29th, 2020  
Too much rain is as bad as too little. Enjoying your shots though.
October 29th, 2020  
The capture through the windshield has a very nice effect. Great job!
October 29th, 2020  
Ai, not great weather for outings.
October 29th, 2020  
Nicely captured - the pouring rain has been my view all this week - ready for a break!

Pat
A lovely rainy scene and great composition, fav.
October 29th, 2020  
Great capture. It's raining here, too.
October 29th, 2020  
Neat pov in this rainy day shot
October 29th, 2020  
Very rainy
October 29th, 2020  
I love the effect of the rain on the windshield
October 29th, 2020  
Oh, that is very wet. What a journey you must have had.
October 29th, 2020  
Very atmospheric!
October 29th, 2020  
Great rainy capture.
October 29th, 2020  
Car window can be a great filter.
October 29th, 2020  
Nicely captured rainy image
October 29th, 2020  
Glad they are keeping an eye on you both....is it private medical care you have to have in Australia Babs? I expect it’s spot on though...sometimes I think the good old NHS should charge a basic fee for appointments & A&E might deter from time wasters!
Rain is good....we have too much at the moment but we can’t live without it! The large truck would have been a nightmare to follow with the spray!
October 29th, 2020  
Love the rain.
October 29th, 2020  
My kids used to love the rain and thunderstorms...I don't like driving in them!
October 29th, 2020  
Dark & dreary - could be here!
October 29th, 2020  
A beautiful rain shot and misty view on the coal loaders

@wakelys @beryl @sangwann @lilh @dutchothotmailcom @linnypinny @pattyblue @mittens @seattlite @bkbinthecity @jernst1779 @flowerfairyann @craftymeg @haskar @yaorenliu @carolmw @sdutoit @loweygrace @carole_sandford @pyrrhula Thanks. The rain has stopped today but there is more on the way I believe.

I love a good storm, but don't enjoy driving in it.

@happypat Thanks Pat, no it wasn't a good day for travelling but we do need the rain.

The treatment at the hospital for David's pulmonary embolisms and the consultation at the Haematology Clinic were covered by Medicare so didn't cost us anything.

You’ve captured the feel of driving in the rain.
