Sky Watch Friday: Manchester Rain


Here is my contribution this week to Skywatch Friday.

Where is the sky?

Well you don't always have to look up to see the sky - when it rains you see it reflected in the puddles, especially in Manchester which has a reputation for rain second only to Bergen.

The lights are on green, the arrow points left, we are on our way to find a new sky to view.

  1. Well, thank you for that! ;-)
    Having seen the rain both places it is equally wet...

    But the reflection was very neat!

  4. Clever! I've used reflections of the sky before, but never in a puddle. There's a symmetry about that that I really like.

  8. Traffic lights, puddles, reflections. My kind of image. Traffic lights are not used enough in photography for me and I am the world's foremost puddles photographer. Well it does rain a lot here.

  10. That is a very unique piece and so true! The reflection in water or on the street can tell us a lot about the state of the sky!

    Thanks for your visit to Evolving Scenes :)

  11. Why not in a puddle? I like reflections too, reflections everywhere (that time I had evening clouds on windows).
    May-be, taking part of SW, we notice now sky everywhere?

  12. I love your picture! How perfectly clever! Guess what? Our skies in North America are much like your skies. Filled with Rain : ). Never ending Rain! Is it true what they say? April showers do bring May flowers? I hope so!
