Rainy Champs Elysées


I was on the Champs Elysées yesterday night and while waiting for my friend under the rain I took this picture (among others...) that I wanted to share with you today.  I do not like the rain but I must admit it gives nice pictures sometimes especially at night.

Sorry about the rain, Laurent, but it did set the scene for this great shot. Bon weekend, and I hope you can meet V while she is there!

Nice! I agree with you. I don't like the rain. But, sometimes it makes for a better photo. I'm always concerned, though, about getting my camera wet.

A beautiful shot!

I'm another who doesn't like getting wet, but I do like this photo. Thanks for keeping us posted on the weather --- thinking of V and hoping for a few rays of sunshine today.

Hyvää alkanutta vuotta 20011. Näin blogien välityksellä on kiva tutustua muiden maiden kultuuriin, ihmisiin ja luontoon. Tule sinäkin katsomaan Teuvon kuvat blogi ja kerro myös kaikille sinun kavereillesi miksi kannattaa käydä katsomassa Teuvon kuvat blogi. Samalla saadaan teidän maanne lippu nousemaan korkeammalle minun blogissa. Teuvo Vehkalahti Finland

La pioggia riesce a rendere Parigi ancor più luminosa e scintillante.
Grande scatto!

I like the way the rain makes the sidewalk sparkle.

I love the freshly washed look, the glistening lights, the colors radiate so, the arc stands undaunted by all the rain...magnifique!
