This is my most favorite picture that I have taken while abroad.
Shaun and I spent the New Year in Madrid (2009-2010) and witnessed the rainiest winter they had received in years. Luckily for me umbrellas and slick streets make amazing subjects.
Rainy downtown Madrid
What a beautiful shot — I love how the sky is reflected in the cobblestones – and that everyone is dressed in black, too!
I have had a few requests for copies of this picture in particular. I’m so glad that I was able to capture it. ♥ Thank you for your kind words.
Gotta agree, excellent shot. Works well in B&W, has a sort of classic film sense about it.
Thanks! Terribly noir lol!
Great picture! Beautiful.
Thanks! ♥
You are really talented, love your photos.
@Ayngelina: Thank you! I’m trying to hard to improve and I want to make it a serious endeavor. I just become so inspired when I am traveling.
Ha! I’ve experienced this exact same day in Madrid!
I know what it feels like to get rained on there.
@Jeremy: It was so cold! Although, I think I’m okay with enduring it to get pictures like these.
