Passage of time in a concrete jungle
This picture was taken in manchester at night (1st March 2008), on piccadilly Gardens, on an obviously rainy day. BUT I would like to mention that manchester is not getting rained on as much as people think….(Yes I know, I’m not helping the North West’s reputation much with this picture)

Lol, on the ‘featured’ page… Very recent pic, took it last saturday on my wet way back to an exhibition… It took me hours to get warm again after, but looks like it was worth stopping longer in the rain. Wish I’d had my tripod with me but hey! :)

Arletta, about 1 month ago
Hmm.. you’d help it with me, as I LOVE rain! So long as it doesn’t wash my house away or anything dreadful like that, anyway.
Also, I love this I love the way the walking figure looks as equally made of rain puddles and rain drops and mist as does the rest of the world … except for the trees. It’s gorgeous and elemental and … and … I love it!

Birgitta, about 1 month ago
I want you to know, that I was sitting there yesterday, at the “Immediate Care Center”,
(like a hospital), with a 4 day migraine..tears streaming down my face in chronic pain-
felt like I was going out of my head with pain!! and all I could think about was this photo.
Yep. It’s true! Then they gave me a shot and everything got warm & fuzzy….heheh.
(much like this image) This is top notch work..and among the top 5 here on my list.
Love it.
Cvail73 in reply to Birgitta’s comment, 29 days ago
Wow! Thank you so much Birgitta, I am so flattered! I have always had a huge soft spot for your own work, and I am very very glad that at last you are back, I have missed your posts! :)
I hope you are alright and that you weren’t in hospital for anything too serious…

(and I love the comment on my Daisy’s Curtain Call….thank you!)
Cvail73 in reply to Nancy Polanski’s comment, 10 days ago
Thanks! Your photo has a great composition and Daisy is so expressive :)))
I hardly did anything with the photos, mainly the lighting at the bottom of the concrete wall, the pattern of the trees due to the architects, and night made that I had to switch to high ISO and be stable at 1/6s – yes I know, I should have been a surgeon ;)—he he he!
Mind you, to my credit,I waited for ages under the rain (got a cold from it) for somebody to pass at this exact place with a brolley….
Noel Elliot, 10 days ago
This is special
Nancy Polanski, 10 days ago
Were you behind glass? It looks like there’s a reflection and I like what it does to the picture. The more I look at this, the more I LOVE it!
Cvail73, 10 days ago
No no, I was fully exposed to the rain (no shelter, just leaned on an electric pole, it’s the movement of the person, at 1/6s you capture quite a lot of movement, including the rain ;)
