  3. I agree with Kim. Very surreal.
    Thanks for popping in on my blog today! You're right about the Amazing Race. And that thought went through my head several times while I was in different lines at the airport!

  4. Very nice, like an impressionists painting. Reminds me a little of my Sky Watch Friday picture from 1/18 on my photo blog, only mine was snow not rain.

    David, this is gorgeous! I love how you've focused in on the rain and everything else is a blur. Beautiful! (And your title rocks, by the way!)

    It reminds me when I was young, I used to get wet in the rain barely naked. *wink*

  19. Very nice pix, David. I love rain. Thank you for sharing it. Focusing on the rain drops instead of the background isn't easy.

    Peace!

  26. Better fasten your helmet, what with the size of these drops!

    Technical data. Thank you! :-)

  27. Since you selected this for "Wordless Wednesday", "torrential" is what comes to my mind, looking at the picture.
    May I ask where and how I can find other people's "Wordless" pictures?

  28. That's a great shot! I took photography lessons way back but forgotten all the technicalities. My photos are mostly out of pure luck! hahaha. THanks for visiting.

  30. Love it! I've been trying to get a good capture of rain here...but we haven't had much rainfall! I'm hoping the spring produces some good storms so I can get some nice rain shots, but if not, I'm sure our move to Florida in the late spring will provide more than enough opportunities!

  34. Nice capture of the rains. Is this rain from Singapore? Hahaha....I got one too. (http://alicesg.blogspot.com/2007/12/rainy-day.html) I guess you visited Singapore during end of the year. It was the raining season.
