Just got back from a week's holiday in Corfu. It rained every day!

    The guy in the first shot looks like he was a little tired of all the rain. lol3.gif Nice capture. I like the color and reflections on the wet pavement in #2.

    I wonder if the gentleman in #3 had any idea what was below him when he took his shot?

    I don't speak Italian. What's that graffiti mean in English? :D

    I must be losing it--I thought I commented on this already.

    #1 almost looks like a still from a movie to me and I like the way it came out--makes me wonder what he's looking at.
    #3 great and funny catch. I'm fairly certain he had no clue.

    Love the expression on the guys face in #1. Been there, felt that!!

    #2 conveys a feeling of isolation on a rainy night.

    #3 is funny.

    Thanks for the comments everyone.

    #1 was taken at a junction (intersection). The guy is looking at the lights waiting for them to change to green.

    #2 was just after the worst storm of the week. I'd been looking for a shot that 'reflected' the conditions:D

    #3 I'm sure the guy had no idea about the grafitti, but his expression suggests he might....

    p.s. Corfu is one of the Greek islands - renowned for their all round sunny weather!!!

    I like #1 as it evokes some old time movie (probably with aliens in them).

    #2 may be more interesting if you crop out most of the top half.
