Toledo – Sky On Fire

I took these sunset shots Wednesday evening, after the mother of all thunderstorms (guess who got caught in it while out grocery shopping…? Yup, that would be drippy drenchy me. Ahrgh!!!)

    Great shots. Sorry to hear you got caught in it. That happens to me a lot and I’m not smart enough to carry an umbrella. So if you see an idiot standing in the rain looking confused–that’s me!

      Happens to me every other time I’m out grocery shopping – I must have really bad karma!
      And we all got caught – I suddenly found myself with a dozen other people trapped in the foyer of a bank, lol. Nobody carries an umbrella here, it’s just not standard issue, like it is in London. Never left the house without one!

        I never owned an umbrella until I moved to Boston in my 30s. It rains all the time there, more than in London. One time at the US Open in NY it poured and many of us ran for cover. I looked over and Andy Murray’s mother was standing right next to me. I wanted to snap a photo, but she didn’t look too friendly so I decided against it.

      Fuck knows!!! It’s looking lovely out, but I’ve grown very suspicious… I think I might have to resort to granting my brolly permanent residency in my bag, á lá London! Perish the thought…!

    Can’t think of Toledo without prefacing it with ‘View of ‘….your challenge is to create a photographic version of El Greco’s painting…doable? Not? (Oh, and you’ll get a DSLR)…!!

        I just can’t be arsed lugging it about. So, weight and inconvenience, yes. My wee digital one fits into my handbag very nicely, so I’ve always got it with me.
