March 28 2006:
The English Rain

Saw this great puddle outside the town’s market today. As you can imagine, the stallholder nearby started to make cheeky chappy comments when he saw me taking the photo, especially when a senior citizen walked past “Hey lady, smile, he wants to take a picture of your lovely legs!”

He then suggested that I send the picture up to the council to illustrate the state of the drains!

The story is funny (I have some similar experiences LOL!) but your image is just fantastic! v

Very nice reflection shot...and story as well :-)
AL29-Mar-2006 02:26
LOL @ your story... Nonethless it's an excellent find! You've certainly made the best out of your rain situation. Outstanding reflection and you've also turned our world upside down :-)

Wonderful, Ray! Kind of a mirage going here. I didn't realize at first that it was a puddle! The disjointed figures and objects make it seem like a montage. Looks as if you've got almost as much rain as WE do here in CA!!
Craig Persel29-Mar-2006 00:09
Excellent. Very well done, and creative, reflection shot.
Bob Floyd28-Mar-2006 23:43
Flipping this was a stroke of genius (I am assuming you flipped it and did not hold the camera upside down *grin*). Love the dark tones and the reflection. Excellent work. V.
Guest 28-Mar-2006 23:17
Great shot Ray - didn't even realise it was a reflection shot from the thumb!
J. Scott Coile28-Mar-2006 23:12

Great puddle and excellent reflections. Really sums up the English rain!
GdL28-Mar-2006 20:58
This is a great shot. For some reason, it reminds me of Sherlock Holmes ... !?
Jim Ross28-Mar-2006 20:56
Fantastic reflection...
Guest 28-Mar-2006 20:41
I recognise those h-ugly street lamps!

Is that Rumpole there too ??? Funny story, tremendous image !!
Carole Stevens28-Mar-2006 20:28
You got the rain too, I gave up outside and resorted to chocolate!I love that you've turned it round, lovely ripples!
Sharon Rogers28-Mar-2006 20:08
hehe I got asked to shoot pot holes to send to the council when I was doing something similar! Love this, great idea to rotate.
Gail Davison28-Mar-2006 19:52

Guest 28-Mar-2006 18:29
The text says a lot, but the image even more. I feel a little bit confused - maybe upside down. Nice find.
Jola Dziubinska28-Mar-2006 18:29
Wonderful reflection, thought it was B&W, but it's not really.
Very well done.
