Bank Holiday Monday

The usual English Bank holiday weather today. This is the ancient butter cross in Oakham market place. I liked how the cobbles and paving slabs shine in the rain . Square crop and b&w due to unforeseen circumstances :) see my other shot for explanation!

Lol! Well rescued! There is something about bank holidays & even though we may be promised good weather, it rarely ever seems to happen!

[Diana Moss]

Typical Bank holiday weather , nobody in sight ,the B&W shows this photo well

I really like this b&w version, everything looks sharp. The rain gives the paving a hi gloss finish

[Martina]

I love the reflections on the wet pavers. Beautiful clarity :)

This really caught me and pulled me in...the glossiness, the line in the pavement leading in and then the narrow alley. Beautiful shot.

Wonderful image. The black and white really highlights the detail and the wetness of the day.

[Babs]

Yep, I remember Bank Holiday weekends like this. some things don't change. The wet ground makes an excellent photo opportunity though.

What a super image. Thought I recognised it so had to look and find it was the lovely Oakham, lovely despite the rain.

Great edit and choice of b& w. Love the textures in the cobbled stone.

[Hazel]

That's an "oooh!" Shot if ever I saw one. You've caught more than just how it looked here. B/W is the perfect choice.
