SOMETHING SIGHTED: Getting Wet in Florence

Getting Wet in Florence

Florence, Italy

The elderly gentleman was waiting for the bus without an umbrella. Hopefully the bus came or someone shared their umbrella before he got too wet. It really started pouring so I ended up buying an umbrella for 4euros from a street vendor.

Speaking of rain we finally got some last night but it's still hot. Above 100° degrees at least until the weekend when it's supposed to cool down to the 90°'s.

'Tsuki said...: I like the choice you made of the umbrella in red... It has such a "le ballon rouge" spirit... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiGFcVf34PM); August 15, 2012 at 1:11 PM
Sylvia K said...: I do love your capture and composition with the touch of red! Perfect! It's way too warm in Seattle this week, so I'm whining and yearning for fall -- so I can whine about the chilly, wet weather!!! Ah, never satisfied!! Hope your week is going well! Stay cool!; August 15, 2012 at 2:13 PM

Un peu de mal avec votre nouvelle présentation (j'suis pas douée !); August 15, 2012 at 3:32 PM
Lúcia said...: This shot is amazing, the composition is so clever, so perfect! It seems we see what he is watching, and there is a cool sense of humour, as if the person with the umbrella is going to kick the ball (I know it's not a ball, but you know what I mean)!
And you know how I love your rainy shots, don't you James? :); August 15, 2012 at 7:01 PM

Malyss said...: Je trouve cette photo tres emouvante! Le vieil homme résigné sous la pluie,qui n'attend plus rien d'autre que le bus, la jeunesse qui passe en rouge, encore pressée, quel symbole!Encore une très belle photo! Quand publies-tu un livre?!; August 16, 2012 at 1:52 AM
