RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY

And, if possible, don’t ever come back (except at night time). Weather forecast for the Maltese Islands was right, at least for yesterday – cold and wet; this morning looks better, it’s sunny right now. I took this shot while driving back home after trying to go out for a walk without an umbrella but with the camera.
According to CNN Malta has been listed as one of the top 20 most beautiful World Heritage Sites ( http://edition.cnn.com/2013/04/28/travel/20-beautiful-unesco-sites/)
Joke: A traffic policeman on his shiny motorbike saw this guy in his old car speeding on a rainy day. He quickly gave chase with siren full on. In a few seconds he was blocking the car owners way. He got off the bike and with notebook and pencil in hand walked commandingly over to the car driver making the sign for him to open the window.

The cop then in an authoritive voice, said : "Isn't it kind of stupid to be driving so fast in this weather?"

The driver meekly replied : "Who's stupid? I'm dry in my car. You're the one who's standing out in the rain."
Thank you very much for looking and for your lovely comments on yesterday's picture.

Lots of atmosphere in this - like the angle and pov, they really show off the water spraying from under the car's wheels.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I don't know whether the car is so tiny or the puddle is so big- but they sure are making a splash together.

[Dione Giorgio]
