If you are of a certain age, I'm not quite, just for the record, you might remember Jane Morgans recording of 'The day the rain came', it reached number 1 in the UK charts in 1959. Originally it was a French song by Gilbert Becaud called "Le Jour ou la pluie viendra" with Morgan singing in English on one side and French on the other. I thought I'd put that in for the French followers of this blog and because I enjoy visiting France so much.
Anyway back to the picture, during all that heat last week we did have a torrential downpour of rain one night. This gigantic puddle appeared in Nightingale Lane almost opposite The Nightingale pub, I imagine it was due to a blocked drain, one thing about living in London the weather's rarely boring...
It certainly does make for a splendid reflection!
ReplyDeleteYes fortunately the surface was very still..
DeleteI love this, Geoff, the reflections in the puddle are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda, I think this one worked very well...
DeleteMerci de partager avec nous cette photo en noir et blanc.
ReplyDeletebeaucoup d'originalité..
Bonne journée. Amitiés.
Merci Laurie, je suis tellement heureux que vous l'aimez
DeleteOh please send some thunderstorms over! :-) I need to try and photograph puddles more often, this one is so fab!
ReplyDeleteThanks. The problem is, I'm not a huge French music fan, lol, so while I would probably recognise Bécaud's voice, I don't think I know either of the songs!
I have package up some thunderstorms for you, should arrive in a day or so. I have heard this song, rarely, on the radio but not for years, I don't know if it ever made the charts in France...
DeleteFabulous reflection, Geoff! We are supposed to get a deluge this afternoon!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm so glad you like it, good luck with your downpour...
DeleteA very creative reflection. Never heard of the song.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you, I don't think the song was ever big apart from the UK and America..
