Just a couple from just now whilst sat in the car in a hospital car park waiting for my mum. Image IQ probably isn’t the best.

They are very atmospheric and definitely rainy. Love the second particularly.
Hope your mum is OK.

Thank you. It is absolutely bucketing down here. I hope she’s ok too, here for a check up on something, so not at A&E luckily. NHS patient but she is being seen at a private hospital which is a bonus.

My kind of rain is light summer rain that you can walk around in enjoying the petrichor.

St. Dunstan in the East 2022-06-05-0014 by Keith Hudson, on Flickr

Both taken in one of my favourite city locations, the war damaged church of St. Dunstan in the East, now a public garden just off Upper Thames Street.

This has got to be my all time favourite rain shot, taken when I looked like my current avatar in 1984 / 85 , the view from my collage halls of residence in Bolsover St. London W1.

I feel sorry for the poor delivery guy who got soaked on his motor bike /scooter and now has to walk around trying to find an address.

Open, for the saving of souls...

While you're in there, can you look for some blue paint and a brush?

Stokesay Castle has a central entrance that is shuttered off now allowing entrance through an old door. Haven't been there for a long time. They have built a cafe outside the grounds now which is a shame. When these were taken (2013 and 2009) you could take tea in the garden which was a lovely thing to do but not much fun for those doing the preparation I should think as the kitchen was tiny.
