Rain in Cambridge At Last

Although it led to a change of plans for a CCC outing, we were very pleased to get some rain yesterday in Cambridge after weeks of hot dry weather. The visitors to Cambridge had dusted off, borrowed from their hotels or purchased umbrellas and filled the streets with colour but I had already decided on a monochrome day so here are some of the images (For my records! Fuji X100V set to Acros film simulation and LR imports the profile). I have  not yet been tempted to view the underlying colour images.

Rainy Day in Cambridge

I walked through Cambridge this morning in the pouring rain and took a few snaps with my pocket camera of people with umbrellas.

Rainy Shopping in the Hull

The wet conditions on Friday gave some great photographic opportunities with the lights from the shops etc  reflecting on pavements and the umbrellas.

Happy Christmas from London

Christmas Eve was very wet in central London - we took a walk past Waterloo Station onto the South Bank in pouring rain - good for reflections and umbrellas but limiting in the time we could stay out.

Post Lockdown Visit to Cambridge

I needed to visit the building society today and was worried how busy it might be but around town was very quiet, probably mostly because of the very dismal condition - snow, followed by rain. The stall holders have valiantly set up their stalls and the Christmas decorations are up but it did not look very festive. Only the Fitzbillies corner looked warm and welcoming. All the Colleges have large white marquees for Covid testing all the students before their return home for Xmas.
