Downpour

I've a few days off work and had to pop into central London as I had a few things to do...

As is the way in England during summer, it's always a wise idea to carry a brolly with you as you're never far from a downpour... I didn't so was forever taking refuge...

Remembering Rich's superb shot from the other week http://365project.org/rich57/365/2011-07-07, I thought I'd try and capture the rain... sort of ok, just wish I'd caught the guy in focus... Looks a bit like a worried Tony Blair to me...

Spent some time around Covent Garden and stopped by the bench before heading home..

great shot Andy - sums the weather up totally over the last couple of days

[bernadette mcelligott]

same here, bummer really, nice shot tho'

[Salma Tantawi]

I love that the rain is the focus of the shot not the people, gives it a certain mood. This is fab!

[Megs]

Well captured!

[kammy]

great shot! same weather here (but i lost my umbrella somewhere..) i like how the people are out of focus actually

[Janna E.]

Yep, looks like in Cambridge today. Great rain capture and that guy does look like Tony...

[Isla Wight]

Nice shot of all the torrential rain today.

...way cool capture andy - soon as i saw it i thought of rich's shot you mentioned.

[Richard Tyson]

Nice one mate. Think most of the rain must've stayed down sarf. Even managed to cycle home this aft.

[robinwarner]

gosh..raining hard there...that is wild...great capture of the downpour. like his expression too....well done as always. your street shots are great.

[Shannon Pitton]

Rich's photo has been hanging in my mind as well, almost makes me want a downpour (almost). You certainly do get a feel of the wetness of it all with this shot.

Great capture of the rain in this street scene. This isn't easy to do!

[Mickey Anderson]

And here I am sitting down here in Australia, in a cold, wet winter, getting onto the 365 site in hope to live vicariously through the Northern Hemisphere folks' summer!!
This is a great shot Andy :)

Well, it is a British summer I suppose :-)
