Default Rain, rain go away, come back another day .....

Well at the weekend we flew to Auckland to be with our grandchildren. Whilst out on the road driving around I captured some fotos of the weather conditions at the time.

Sudden downpour with the driver yet to turn on the wipers and the vehicle in front of us applying the brakes ......

Auckland - the City of Sails - unlikely today in these conditions

The Sky Tower in the clouds

Then back home

Well, You must have needed the Rain right? But it sure didn't keep you from getting some nice Captures.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Thanks Michael - well we were having a weekend break, with the grandchildren, if you can call that a break. Rain usually keeps us inside but had an opportunity to get out for a while and of course my camera is always with me, now. Cheers, Bernz

Hello Bernz, love the abstract look of the windscreen and brake lights, and the sky tower in the clouds is a really good capture. Guess it takes more than a little rain to keep you from taking good shots eh. TFS (Thanks for sharing).

Great rain shots, Berns. I especially like the last one of the bench with drops that are just about to fall...

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Michael - fortunately or unfortunately I am out of work at present and thus are spending more time trying to improve my photography skills. Cheers, Bernz
