Flag Waving

This was taken a few days ago at the Diamond Jubilee Big Lunch in the centre of Bradford.  The little girl at the front of the stage is holding a stick, it was a flag, the rain was just so heavy that the flags disintegrated within minutes.

Roberts Park In The Rain

There is something mildly satisfying about walking in the rain, as long as the wind is not too strong and driving the rain into your face, and you have a decent set of waterproofs, it could be quite a pleasant experience. If you are a photographer, think of the advantages, reflections on wet paths, water droplets on leaves and spiders webs, people in the street with brightly coloured umbrellas, wet cobbles, the steamed up windows of a fish and chip shop.... On the other hand, you could just pull back the curtain of the bedroom window a little, take a quick peek outside, and then get straight back into bed.
