Riding about town on my bike I decided that I would go for a little explore. Just as I was about to set off it started to pour with rain- the good kind, the tropical kind that gives a little bit of a relief to the humidity rather than the constant miserable drizzle of England. I took shelter and waited for it to ease, watching an old lady peddle her way through the downpour. Unfortunately for her, the light was perfect for a photo and she has cycled, miserable and damp, into my blog.
I entered this photo into a travel photo competition in TNT magazine and was very pleased to receive a runners up position!

Also, was taking a little look at some of your other photos and the ones of your dog and cat play-fighting are amazing! Unusual too!

Hi!! I love this shot 🙂 I was wondering if you’d let me use it on my blog for a post on ‘Inspiration’? The theme is ‘Rain’. I’ll credit back to you of course. Here’s a previous post for you to have a look at. http://wp.me/p1YdU5-ck Let me know! Thanks!
