When it rains, I wear pearls. Pearls and red lipstick.
And suddenly thundery shades of gray become glittery, glistening and romantic.

Hi west517, Lovely and atmospheric, especially like the bicycle and the blurry wet silhouette! ⭐ The bicycle could almost be a photo in Cambridge (England) where all the students ride bikes and attach them to the railings! It’s strange to see the rain, the sun is still shining here! PS Not been on WP for a week but just posted a new ‘door’ post if you missed it ! 🙂

You know I actually thought of you when I was working on this post~ specifically some of your street photographs that are eye level (LOVE THOSE).
I’m so happy you like it. Some of these shot were a little difficult in the rain, but I really wanted to capture the “Rainy Day” atmosphere– especially with the bicycle images.

I love finding places that are pretty much broken, old industrial sites with graffiti, the decent stuff, not just the verbal tags, but the artistic interesting stuff.
