I love the rain, especially when I'm not getting wet from it. And I love the effect in this pic. I achieved it by taking the photo through the windscreen of my car (not while I was driving, you'll be relieved to learn!). The scene is a street near to where I live, late Friday afternoon, at the end of a hard and intensive week. Somehow, this just seems to capture that feeling.

then_and_now
This photo was taken in September 2006. The picture I'm holding was taken on my graduation day for my first degree, in July 1974. Believe it or not, I'd just had my hair cut so I would look more presentable for the ceremony. Erm, no comment. Interestingly enough, there's a picture in the National Gallery in London that looks just like this (well, logically, the converse is more accurate). My mother always thought I looked like the Laughing Cavalier. LOL.

City Airport
You would never believe that this is in the heart of London. It's about a mile from Canary Wharf, which is a huge finaincial and shopping centre, with great shops (expensive too!). The aircraft take off and land on a single runway which is just to the right of the water you can see on the right-hand side.
