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.

London in the Rain 2. St Pauls and the Millenium Bridge

 Our route to London Bridge area involved crossing the Millenium Bridge - an excellent opportunity to snap umbrellas en masse.

London in the Rain 1. From the Gallery

We travelled up to London yesterday to do an afternoon stewarding at the London Salon Exhibition . It rained all day giving lots of opportunities for my favourite subject - umbrellas! Here a few views as people passed the gallery hurrying on to get out of the rain.
