Cityscape Under Water

by Helen Betts

Washington, D.C.

Needless to say, we have had a major storm here today, and this was taken in the alley behind my house. It was quite a production trying to capture it, with my husband holding an umbrella over me and, more importantly, the camera, our dog wandering around unattended and getting into trouble, trying to avoid being drenched by passing cars, and catching the scene when there wasn't so much rain you couldn't distinguish anything. This, BTW, was my patio and what I had to slosh through to get out to the alley, camera and tripod in hand: http://www.pbase.com/helenpb/image/77213622

This is really a nice shot Helen; once again proving that we don't have to run all over the country trying to come up with good entries for these challenges. I love those rain drops in the water and that perfect tree reflection. An outstanding entry!
