Bad timing....... by shepherdmanswife

Bad timing.......

Had to wait for a train to cross the level crossing at lunch time today. It was pouring with rain, so with engine off, I took this photo of the train passing through the rain.
I'm so fed up with this weather. Not only has it rained all day, but the wind has been so strong too. There were several short branches, bits of trees on the road on my way home.
A field that has been flooded for several days had waves crashing at the side of the field as the wind blew the flood so hard it looked like a lake!

No, I didn't use the oil paint filter, or any other filter on this. The rain did it for me. This is SOOC (straight out of camera, for newbies! :))

Thank you all for your continuous support, your comments, criticisms and faves. I'm sorry that I am lagging behind with commenting on yours but life's getting in the way of 365 at the moment! Will try to catch up with all your wonderful photos soon.

You could market a rain filter with this image - fabulous pic - just be thankful you were not in Somerset

@paul2782 Yes, you are quite right Paul. I feel so sorry for those people. What a nightmare they are going through. I shouldn't complain, but with 2 large dogs that need walking twice a day, in whatever weather is being thrown at us, its very time consuming with the hosing down of them both and the drying etc! Roll on the frost or spring!

Great weather shot, good for one of the February challenges there is a weather word

The rain is lending a hand to create a great effect distorting the subject. Well done for embracing it.

Good capture

Fantastic shot. My sister lives in the UK and she has been telling me about the amount of rain you have had. Where I live in Australia we have had 10 mm rain since the beginning of December. We could do with some of yours.

Your so right about the weather, cool weather shot.

Love the effect you got here, and the bits of colour in the middle of all the grey. This winter is turning into a marathon, with snow for us here and rain for you over there,

Love the pops of red.

this is really good with the merging of colours and the wet look! I wonder if I took the camera into the shower, I might get the same look!
February 6th, 2014  
This is a fabulously wet shot
February 6th, 2014

It is miserable isn't it! A workmate had all the fields round her house flooded just before Christmas, it still looks like she now lives beside the sea! Great capture of a miserable day!

Your weather looks even worse than ours, nice wet effect
February 6th, 2014  
Great shot. It captures the feel of the downpour perfectly.
