Competition no. 44 'Rain'

My inspiration came from the heavens. The rainy season appears to have started depressingly early in Addis this year (usually doesn't commence till late-June). I will look forward to your images around the subject 'Rain' to uplift me from the mud and gloom.

For those of you in places where it's not raining many will no doubt have archive shots. Those (the majority) who happen to live in the UK will of course have no excuse not to go out and get snapping!

By the way, as was the case last time I set the topic, if as many people as possible can get their pics in by Friday that would be much appreciated. Without a decent internet connection at home I am reliant on my daughter's school's broadband connection and even this can be erratic (and is more difficult to access at the w/e).

Taken about 6 years ago, with MZ-5n, FA 28-70, handheld, on slide film. This is a scan of a subsequent print.
