Lovers walk at the botanic gardens, where the couples initials are etched into the bamboo for everyone to see. There's literally thousands of them here!
Because the Denver Broncos just won the Super Bowl and I live two blocks away from this intersection.
Here it rains both vertically and horizontally at the same time...although in this shot it stopped for a bit. This is Fort Perch Rock, a Napoleonic fort built to defend the entrance to the Mersey and a lighthouse of similar age. Comments always appreciated.

I was in the trees so shielded from the gales. This is the rain tough enough to get through the tree canopies.
The sun finally broke through. The old customs house, Kings Lynn, Norfolk...
Yeah sorry, horizontal rain in Glasgow is normal. Hence me posting vertical rain... a bit unique for us...

Really like the arrangement in this and so beautifully exposed.
Cheers Ken - composition obviously designed to hide a load of people on the shore around the corner...seriously though I liked the common curve-shape of the bottom of the fort and that of the lighthouse. Taken with a 70-300 lens at the long end to give a bit of foreshortening.Yeah sorry, horizontal rain in Glasgow is normal. Hence me posting vertical rain... a bit unique for us...

The perspective made the lighthouse fit nicely into the curve but the crisp detail front to back is just lovely - I aspire to take pictures as nice as this.
Thanks Ken. The lens VR is amazing - hand held at about 1/100s in a howling gale.

For some reason, the image won't post! Not sure what I've done wrong!
Here's a link to it on Flickr if you want to see it!

Here's my contribution....the sunlight disguises the wind/sleet/rain that had stopped only moments before!

Two true classics.
Apple Cube M7886.
Omega 1967 Moonwatch ST 105.012 (movement cal. 321).
Slightly different view of the millennium bridge and St Paul's than the B&W one I posted a couple of days ago.

Just pick up the BB code from Flickr and copy direct into your post.
OK, go to your photo on Flickr, and look below it on the right. Out of the 3 icons select the middle one (looks like a bent arrow). Click on BBCode, and below it a size to display in the forum. Copy the code and just paste it as is into your post.
Hope this helps,
Cheers
