Marion from Nanaimo, BC, CanadaSure emits a mood here. More so in black and white than had it been in what little color there is when it rains. Thank goodness for the rain though. It brings the flowers. Make sure you check my site today Lorraine. You will see why. 12 Aug 2008 5:41am @Marion: Thanks Dear Marion, and I did, actually I always do lol and WOW, I love your focal black and white, it's fresh and unusual and spot on, and I'm flattered that you thought of me :) @Dimitrios: I love both, different moods, different beauty ;) thanks my underwater friend :) @saeed: In that case Dear Saeed, I hope you get some ;) GJC from Kyoto, JapanQuite a contrast from yesterday's sunny shot.

A une des scènes de cinéma qui m'a fait le plus craquer et que je revis chaque fois avec autant d'émotion. Dans le superbe film de Clint Eastwood "Sur la route de Madison", le moment où Meryl Streep est dans sa voiture avec son mari, il tombe des cordes, elle vient de faire son choix, et voit le pick-up de son amant (le séduisant Clint...) s'éloigner sous la pluie... et ses mains se crispent de douleur sur la poignée de la portière... oh la la, j'en ai des frissons... Je suis sure que tu connais ce film................... 12 Aug 2008 4:11pm @Evelyne Dubos: ha oui? je vais devoir le regarder ce film, je sais de quel film tu parles, mais je ne l'ai jamais vu..si j'ai l'occasion je vais le regarder ou tout au moins, la fin ;) merci beaucoup Evelyne! Observing from West Cheshire, United KingdomYou know Lorraine, I love shots from inside a car with rain, and this is a really good one. But you are lucky having so little traffic. 12 Aug 2008 4:46pm @Observing: There you go Mike, you hit it on the spot, no traffic, about the only one to take a half-decent shot ;) thanks somuch! Calusarus from St Sorlin en Valloire, FranceMême météo dans la Drôme… Et je sais combien ce genre de photo est difficile… 12 Aug 2008 4:49pm @Calusarus: Hey Bonjour Calusarus, la pluie prise de la bonne facon est dure a battre, merci beaucoup pour ta visite :) Gary from Cochise County, United StatesI have tried this type of shot so many times and I can never get it to work. If I ever did get it to work, I would want it to look something like this. Nice one Lorraine. 12 Aug 2008 4:53pm @Gary: Don't underestimate the chance Gary, 'cause that's all this was a chance moment...:) Thanks always! Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, FranceOh oui alors, il faut que tu le regardes absolument, il est superbe... et du début à la fin, de l'émotion pure !! 12 Aug 2008 4:59pm @Evelyne Dubos: Okay, je t'en donnerai des nouvelles ;) Betty from New Jersey, United StatesI feel like I'm in the car with you... love it, Lorraine! 12 Aug 2008 6:50pm @Betty: Don't distract me now Betty, keep an eye on the light ;) thanks so much sweety!

Well rendered! 12 Aug 2008 10:25pm @Craig: Thanks a lot Craig, glad you enjoyed ;) Tracey from White Hall, United StatesLove this in black and white. Very moody. Occasionally I love rainy days to chill out, wrap up in a blanket and be lazy! That is the appeal of this one to me! 12 Aug 2008 10:49pm @Tracey: that sounds wonderful Tracey, thanks so much...and thanks for the link you gave me for your blog, but it doesn't work :( ;) @Carlos Palma: Aren't you sweet, thanks a lot Carlos :) akarui from Kagoshima, JapanYou caught the rain well through the car front glass, be carefull as you seems to be the driver too... 13 Aug 2008 12:46am @akarui: Hey Olivier, I've learned I only take photos from the car when I'm at a standstill and thanks so much ;) bluechameleon from Vancouver, CanadaExcellent shot Lorraine!
